Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 710 AM EST Sun Mar 03 2019 Valid 00Z Mon Mar 04 2019 - 00Z Mon Mar 11 2019 A fairly weak front will push through the area today and trades will increase behind it and remain elevated for most of the week amid a stronger than average pressure gradient. Upper troughing will remain to the northeast of Hawai'i next week with upper ridging near the Dateline, which favors a drier than average pattern. A small weakness aloft will linger over and to the southwest of the Aloha state from midweek onward which may help increase shower activity. Showers will favor windward/mauka areas with some spillover to leeward areas via stronger trades. Models and ensembles were in good agreement and a blended solution should suffice. Fracasso
