VALID 00Z THU AUG 15 2024 - 00Z THU AUG 22 2024
A RELATIVELY WET AND MODERATELY BREEZY TRADE WIND PATTERN WILL BE
IN PLACE FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEK ACROSS HAWAII.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MEANDERING AROUND 40-45N WILL MAINTAIN THE
TYPICAL PRESSURE GRADIENT FOR TRADES, WHICH LOOK TO BE AT MODERATE
LEVELS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH IN
HAWAII'S VICINITY, BUT STRENGTHENING BACK TO BREEZY LEVELS BY THE
WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. THROUGH THE PERIOD, SOME SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE FAVORING TYPICAL WINDWARD/MAUKA AREAS BUT OCCASIONALLY
SPILLING INTO LEEWARD AREAS. SHOWERS WILL BE SUPPORTED
WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY BY TROUGHING IN THE MID-UPPER LEVELS. MODELS SHOW
SLIGHT MOISTURE INCREASES FRIDAY-SATURDAY AND EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED. THE SURFACE PRESSURE
PATTERN WOULD LIKELY KEEP ANY CENTRAL PACIFIC TROPICAL SYSTEMS
THAT MAY FORM NEXT WEEK SOUTH OF HAWAII AT LEAST THROUGH THIS
FORECAST PERIOD, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
