898 FXHW01 KWNH 200736 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 336 AM EDT Wed Aug 20 2025 Valid 00Z Thu 21 Aug 2025 - 00Z Thu 28 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, but increased uncertainty mid to late period with the strength of the trough to the north and how close it may approach the islands. Santorelli $$
