HAWAII EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
340 AM EDT TUE OCT 03 2023
VALID 00Z WED OCT 04 2023 - 00Z WED OCT 11 2023
A LAND AND SEA BREEZE PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE OVER HAWAII FOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS, AS TRADES DIMINISH AS A RESULT OF A WEAK PRESSURE
GRADIENT DUE TO A SURFACE LOW WELL NORTH OF THE STATE PUSHING A
FRONT ACROSS THE PACIFIC AND HOVERING NORTH NEAR THE ISLANDS.
CLOUDS AND ANY SHOWERS THAT FORM WILL FAVOR THAT LAND/SEA BREEZE
PATTERN THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT LOOKS TO STALL
AND DISSIPATE JUST NORTH OF HAWAII AROUND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/THURSDAY, WITH THE BAND OF MOISTURE AHEAD OF IT PERHAPS
MAKING IT INTO THE NORTHWESTERN ISLANDS, BUT ANY ENHANCED RAIN
LOOKS TO STAY NORTH. BY LATER IN THE WEEK, A SURFACE HIGH IS
FORECAST TO FORM NORTHWEST OF THE STATE AND EXTEND ITS RIDGE
TOWARD HAWAII, WITH ITS PRESSURE GRADIENT SUFFICIENT TO REFORM
EASTERLY TRADES. A HYBRID TRADE/SEA BREEZE PATTERN LOOKS POSSIBLE
ON THURSDAY BEFORE A MORE TYPICAL TRADE WIND PATTERN FORMS ON
FRIDAY AND SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK, WITH ANY SHOWERS FOCUSED ON WINDWARD/MAUKA AREAS.
