Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 253 AM EDT Mon Apr 18 2022 Valid 00Z Tue Apr 19 2022 - 00Z Tue Apr 26 2022 The upper trough will continue to slowly lift out of the region today, with a col remaining within the broader subtropical ridge through midweek. At the surface, the core of the surface high should move eastward between 30-35 degrees north, maintaining steady east-northeasterly trades through the end of the week, with perhaps some veering to the east-southeast by next weekend. The ensemble means are in good agreement on the overall weather pattern. In terms of precipitation, improving weather can be expected compared to this past weekend, with mainly terrain enhanced showers for the typical locations on the Big Island and Maui, and lighter showers across the northwestern Islands. No major events are appearing on the horizon for the upcoming week. Hamrick
