Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 818 AM EDT Sun Apr 17 2016 Valid 00Z Mon Apr 18 2016 - 00Z Mon Apr 25 2016 A prefered composite of reasonably compatable model and ensemble composite shows that amplified mid-upper level trough passage northeast of the state is forcing a trailing surface front across the state today/Monday. Expect enhanced shower potential with blended precipitable water loops showing pooled moisture with values upwards of 1.25". Lingering moisture should then fuel mainly windward favored terrain rains over the rest of the week/next weekend as returning trades are periodically raised to brisk levels as post-frontal high pressure cells bridge to the north then northeast of the state.
