HAWAII EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
358 AM EDT SUN JUL 07 2024
VALID 00Z MON JUL 08 2024 - 00Z MON JUL 15 2024
A PERSISTENT MID-UPPER RIDGE IS IN PLACE ACROSS HAWAII AND IS
LIKELY TO REMAIN THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. MEANWHILE AT
THE SURFACE, HIGH PRESSURE NORTH OF THE STATE WILL START TO
STRENGTHEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, ENHANCING TRADE WINDS FROM
MODERATE LEVELS TO BREEZY LEVELS BY AROUND TUESDAY. OVERALL THE
RIDGE ALOFT AND GENERALLY BELOW NORMAL MOISTURE LEVELS WILL
PROMOTE A RELATIVELY DRY PATTERN WITH ONLY SOME LIGHT SHOWERS
FAVORING TYPICAL WINDWARD AREAS. THERE MAY BE A MINOR UPTICK IN
SHOWER COVERAGE AROUND TUESDAY AS MOISTURE BRIEFLY INCREASES.
THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO SHIFT NORTH MIDWEEK
AND BEYOND, AS A MINOR WEAKNESS IN THE HEIGHTS MAY TRACK ACROSS
HAWAII ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE RIDGE. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR A
TEMPORARY INCREASE IN WINDWARD SHOWERS AGAIN AROUND
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY, BUT STILL WITH PRETTY MINOR RAIN AMOUNTS.
BREEZY TRADE WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK AS WELL, GIVEN THE SURFACE HIGH TO THE NORTH.
