Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 320 AM EDT Mon Apr 11 2022 Valid 00Z Tue Apr 12 2022 - 00Z Tue Apr 19 2022 High pressure is expected to persist over the eastern Pacific through at least the middle of the week leading to a fairly typical trade wind pattern with occasional periods of more moderate to breezy speeds. This should bring mainly light showers to the favorable eastward facing slopes. Models suggest an upper trough may cross the region around Friday into Saturday, with some enhanced moisture moving in over Hawaii and potential for some more persistant showers, especially across the southern islands. Still quite a bit of uncertainty in the latest guidance regarding details of this upper disturbance, which has implications for where and how much precipitation falls. The ensemble means seem to be a good starting point right now for this feature. Santorelli
