Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 230 AM EST Tue Feb 13 2024 Valid 00Z Wed Feb 14 2024 - 00Z Wed Feb 21 2024 After a frontal boundary stalls just north of Hawaii on Tuesday, a stronger cold front reaches the northwestern Islands on Thursday morning, and then should clear the Big Island by Friday afternoon. High pressure gradually builds in from the west going into the end of the week based on the ensemble means, with the surface high centered just north of the main Islands by next Monday before moving to a position northeast of the state by Tuesday based on the ensemble means. The weaker than usual pressure gradient that is expected through midweek will result in mainly light low level winds, and then a stronger surge out of the north late in the week as the cold front clears the state, followed by northeasterly flow over the weekend that gradually veers to the east. There will likely be some increase in shower coverage across the Islands for the end of the week as the front passes, but otherwise no organized areas of heavy rainfall are anticipated. Hamrick
