Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 825 AM EDT Fri Mar 27 2015 Valid 00Z Sat Mar 28 2015 - 00Z Sat Apr 04 2015 Models and ensembles still reasonably agree that a building ridge over the state will limit island showers to trade favored windward slopes and near a weakening surface boundary. Showers linger mostly over the southern islands over the next 24-48 hours. Shortwave passage north of the state Sunday whittles into the ridge and allows some moisture return. This leads into stronger southern stream impulse energy and height falls working more ernestly into the state starting Tuesday along with deeper moisture to fuel a pattern with more widespread shower potenital through next midweek. This scenario remains based on a favored guidance composite given modest forecast spread, albeit with some latter period timing issues inherent with smaller scale systems. Schichtel
