Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 339 AM EDT Sat Apr 16 2022 Valid 00Z Sun Apr 17 2022 - 00Z Sun Apr 24 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 for most of next week. However, there is good model consensus for an upper shortwave settling over Hawaii this weekend and then weakening by early next week. This will likely result in some instances of heavy rainfall across the Big Island and Maui through Sunday, with perhaps a few inches of rain for some areas. Otherwise, no major weather impacts are currently anticipated over the next seven days. Hamrick
