Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 233 AM EST Tue Feb 25 2025 Valid 00Z Wed Feb 26 2025 - 00Z Wed Mar 05 2025 The latest model and ensemble guidance for Hawaii continues to favor mean upper ridging persisting over the state for the next week with generally light to moderate trades, with some variability in speed and direction as a couple of cold fronts pass to the north of the state. Showers may favor windward locations at times, but should be very light and scattered in nature. A front approaching the islands around the Wednesday and Thursday may bring more southerly winds and a slight uptick in showery activity, especially for western islands. Once this passes, winds should shift more easterly again as upper ridging strengthens over the state. Surface high pressure moving in north of Hawaii may bring stronger wind speeds, but with a mostly dry and stable weather pattern into next weekend and early next week. Santorelli
