####018001260#### FXHW01 KWNH 280741 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 340 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024 Valid 00Z Mon Apr 29 2024 - 00Z Mon May 06 2024 Generally east-southeast to east winds are present across Hawaii, with the slight veering of the winds due to upper and surface lows to the northwest of the state. These winds should stay light to moderate over the eastern islands through the first part of the week, but weak enough over the northwestern islands to allow for a hybrid trade and land/sea breeze pattern. Meanwhile, available moisture is forecast to lessen over the next couple of days for less shower coverage. What is left of the weakening trough may move across Hawaii around Tuesday. For midweek and beyond, surface highs developing north of the state will lead to gradually increasing easterly trades, reaching moderate to breezy levels by Friday or the weekend. Meanwhile by late next week into the weekend, model guidance is coming into better agreement in showing a mid-upper trough/low over Hawaii. This could provide some instability for increased showers, which would favor windward areas given the increasing trades. Tate $$
