####018001311#### FXHW01 KWNH 290743 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 342 AM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024 Valid 00Z Tue Apr 30 2024 - 00Z Tue May 07 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 over the next couple of days, with limited showers. Meanwhile winds should be weak enough over the northwestern islands to allow for a hybrid trade and land/sea breeze pattern, while a tongue of moisture comes into Kauai and produces showers. The HREF also shows some enhancement of showers farther east across Maui late Monday. 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 and lasting into early next week. Meanwhile model guidance is in fairly good agreement with showing a mid-upper trough/low centered west of Hawaii Friday and then coming overhead over the weekend. This should provide some instability for increased showers, which would favor windward areas given the increasing trades. Tate $$
