340 FXHW01 KWNH 290821 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 421 AM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025 Valid 00Z Sat 30 Aug 2025 - 00Z Sat 06 Sep 2025 Trades will remain pretty light over the next few days, as the typical surface high to the north of the state is weakened/displaced by a relatively strong surface low meandering from around 40N to 35N. Meanwhile a dry airmass is in place, with precipitable water (PW) anomalies well below average. Thus any showers should be isolated through the end of the week. By early next week, there is a general trend toward higher PWs for at least the Big Island and possibly Maui with a surge of moisture. This is especially seen in the EC/CMC guidance, while the GFS suite keeps the deeper moisture just south. Meanwhile a weak upper low may hover near/over Kauai. Both of these features may enhance some rain amounts and coverage around Sunday, but nothing too heavy. Mainly dry conditions are forecast to return around Tuesday and beyond, though trades may increase slightly to around moderate levels. Tate $$
