HAWAII EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
440 AM EDT WED SEP 2 2026
VALID 00Z THU 03 SEP 2026 - 00Z THU 10 SEP 2026
BREEZY TRADES CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS A STRONG
RIDGE REMAINS ANCHORED TO THE NORTH OF THE STATE AND MAJOR
HURRICANE LOWELL PASSES BY TO THE SOUTH. DAILY SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE ISLAND CHAIN BUT WILL BE MOSTLY CONFINED TO
THE TYPICAL WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND
BECOME QUITE GUSTY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND LOWELL TO THE SOUTH INCREASES. THE
STRONG AND GUSTY TRADE PATTERN EVENTUALLY WILL BECOME DISRUPTED AS
HURRICANE KARINA PASSES TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE ISLANDS LATER
THIS WEEKEND.
THE FORECAST BECOMES MORE UNCERTAIN HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK AS
BOTH LOWELL AND KARINA WILL BOTH BE LINGERING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PACIFIC. WHILE DIRECT IMPACTS FROM EITHER STORM ARE NOT EXPECTED
AT THE CURRENT TIME, MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS AN UPPER LOW POTENTIALLY
INTERACTING WITH BOTH STORMS, WHICH COULD ALTER THEIR TRACKS AND
BRING EITHER STORM CLOSER TO THE ISLAND CHAIN. PLEASE REFER TO THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE
FORECAST TRACK AND INTENSITY OF LOWELL AND KARINA.
