Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 333 AM EDT Sat Mar 16 2024 Valid 00Z Sun Mar 17 2024 - 00Z Sun Mar 24 2024 Weak high pressure will be just north of Hawaii through this weekend. A col develops in the surface high by early next week with a frontal boundary passing well north of the Islands according to the latest ensemble means. The surface high will likely build back in north of the state going into the middle to end of next week. There will likely be enhanced showers for the Big Island through late Saturday owing to the vicinity of the frontal boundary, and less coverage of showers farther northwest. Scattered showers are likely to persist beyond this time, but abating in intensity as a drier overall environment advects into the region, and not major rainfall events are expected through the upcoming week. Light to moderate trade wind flow from the northeast is expected through early next week, with some veering to the east by the middle of the week. Hamrick
