####018001025#### FXHW01 KWNH 050731 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 330 AM EDT Sun May 05 2024 Valid 00Z Mon May 06 2024 - 00Z Mon May 13 2024 Latest guidance agrees that potent surface high pressure built to the north of Hawaii will favor breezy to locally strong island trades through early this week. Meanwhile model guidance also shows a mid-upper trough/low working near the state. Expect some instability for increased showers, which would favor windward and mauka areas given trade flow. Slightly above average moisture anomalies may peak around Monday-Tuesday. Rainfall totals do not appear to be significantly high. Trades may decrease through the rest of the week as the supporting high weakens with onset of mid-latitude upper troughing/height falls and surface frontal approach, but will less certainty rebound next weekend with rebuilding of post-frontal high pressure to the north of the state.
