773 FXHW01 KWNH 180631 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 231 AM EDT Sat Oct 18 2025 Valid 00Z Sun 19 Oct 2025 - 00Z Sun 26 Oct 2025 The main surface high will be situated well to the north of Hawaii this weekend, with the typical easterly trade wind pattern over the Islands through the early part of the week. The ensemble means are hinting at a weak inverted surface trough developing over the state Wednesday into Thursday in response to a broad upper trough over the region. The surface high then rebuilds closer to the Islands to close out the week. Normal coverage of showers across the windward terrain can be expected on most days. It currently does not appear that the mid- week trough will be strong enough to advect deeper moisture from the ITCZ, so therefore no major rainfall events are anticipated based on the latest model guidance.
