Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 207 AM EST Thu Feb 09 2023 Valid 00Z Fri Feb 10 2023 - 00Z Fri Feb 17 2023 A preferred composite of reasonably clustered model and ensemble guidance supports moderate to brisk trades will persist into next week as strong high pressure bridges to the north then northeast of the state. In this pattern, the bulk of upper troughing and deepest moisture remains just to the southeast of the state this week in generally continued stable conditions over much of Hawaii, but renewed trades may tap enough for periodic showers over favored windward terrain. The Big Island seemingly has the best potential for some heavier downpours from later weekend and next week given deepest moisture potential as upper troughing gradually works back over the state along with surface flow response, albeit still with uncertainty given the transition is at these longer time frames.
