Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 312 AM EDT Fri Apr 15 2022 Valid 00Z Sat Apr 16 2022 - 00Z Sat Apr 23 2022 An elongated sub-tropical surface high pressure centered near 35 degrees north through most of the period should keep primarily east-northeasterly trade winds in place, with moderate to locally breezy conditions at times over the next week. This should result in mainly some light showers favoring the typical windward locations. Beginning this weekend, there is good model consensus for an upper shortwave settling over Hawaii and a col developing in the upper level ridge axis through the middle of next week. This will increase lower tropospheric moisture into the region, especially across the Big Island and Maui. Therefore, an increase in rainfall can be expected across these islands into midweek when the shortwave weakens. Otherwise, no major weather impacts are currently anticipated over the next seven days. Hamrick
