####018001085#### FXHW01 KWNH 020734 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 334 AM EDT Thu May 02 2024 Valid 00Z Fri May 03 2024 - 00Z Fri May 10 2024 Trade winds will be gradually strengthening on Thursday in response to surface highs strengthening and consolidating well north of Hawaii. Winds are likely to reach breezy levels on Friday and stay breezy to locally strong through the weekend into early next week. Meanwhile model guidance remains in fairly good agreement with showing a mid-upper trough/low centered west of Hawaii late week and then coming overhead by early next week. This could provide some instability for increased showers, which would favor windward and mauka areas given the increasing trades. Slightly above average moisture anomalies may peak around Monday-Tuesday. Rainfall totals do not appear to be significantly high though. This wet trade wind pattern looks to continue into much of next week, though trades may decrease slightly later next week. Tate $$
