479 FXHW01 KWNH 170752 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 352 AM EDT Sat May 17 2025 Valid 00Z Sun 18 May 2025 - 00Z Sun 25 May 2025 High pressure at the surface and aloft will be centered northeast of Hawaii over the next few days, promoting moderate to breezy easterly trade winds over the state. Weak midlevel lows could lead to some instability while some waves of moisture move through. Thus showers are likely and should favor windward and mauka areas. By around Tuesday, moisture may temporarily lessen a bit, but by the second half of next week, moisture is forecast to increase once again while a broader upper trough develops over Hawaii. Another midlatitude surface high will bring continued easterlies and thus a continued wet trade wind pattern will set up generally through next week. Tate $$
