457 FXHW01 KWNH 170717 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 317 AM EDT Tue Jun 17 2025 Valid 00Z Wed 18 Jun 2025 - 00Z Wed 25 Jun 2025 A stable and dry pattern looks to remain in place for the islands through this week/weekend and into early next week. An area of surface high pressure well north of the islands is forecast to shift east- southeastward early in the period and then settle in northeast of the islands. Trade winds will be enhanced through the middle of this week as the high passes due north of the islands resulting in a tighter pressure gradient. A brief period of lighter winds should exist late this week as the high drifts away from the islands. However, another period of gustier winds look to return through the weekend as the high strengthens and drift back towards the islands. Guidance suggests the high will then weaken early next week with lighter winds expected. Any rainfall should be limited to lighter terrain- enhanced showers mostly for windward areas. Putnam $$
