423 FXHW01 KWNH 190741 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 341 AM EDT Tue Aug 19 2025 Valid 00Z Wed 20 Aug 2025 - 00Z Wed 27 Aug 2025 A typical trade wind pattern, moderately breezy at times, will prevail with upper ridging over Hawaii for the next week. By the weekend, troughing from the north may begin to drop south towards the islands, but the associated front should stay well north. Winds may weaken some and shift more east-southeasterly. The overall pattern supports a typical summertime pattern over Hawaii with drier conditions and not much in the way of rainfall except for typical windward and mauka areas. Guidance shows good agreement on the overall setup, with some uncertainty in the strength of the trough to the north or how close it may approach the islands. Santorelli $$
