Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 305 AM EDT Wed Mar 19 2025 Valid 00Z Thu 20 Mar 2025 - 00Z Thu 27 Mar 2025 A preferred model and ensemble mean composite of reasonably well clustered guidance favors a drier trade flow pattern for the rest of the regular workweek as moisture levels gradually decrease as nearby upper troughing loses influence and as surface high pressure bridges to the north then northeast of the state. Guidance then signals passage of an energetic mid-latitude upper trough to the north of the state later weekend and early next week that would disrupt island trades while forcing a moisture pooling and enhanced rainfall focusing cold front into the islands early next week to monitor.
