Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 730 AM EST Fri Mar 08 2019 Valid 00Z Sat Mar 09 2019 - 00Z Sat Mar 16 2019 A relatively benign weather pattern is expected to persist across Hawaii through the next week. Surface high pressure will remain centered north of the state into early next week, keeping brisk 20-30 kt trades in place. Trades will begin to weaken by Mon night as the surface high slides east and a cold front washes out several hundred miles north of the state. The dissipating front should bring a slight increase in moisture and shower activity across Hawaii into next weekend, with PWs rising to just over 1 inch. In general, models show agreement on the broad pattern with the strongest westerly flow remaining well north of Hawaii through the next week, with Hawaii on the eastern periphery of a strong upper ridge across the west central Pacific.
