Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 308 AM EST Fri Feb 19 2021 Valid 00Z Sat Feb 20 2021 - 00Z Sat Feb 27 2021 A col in the subtropical ridge will be in place to close out this week, with a weak upper trough situated just west of Hawaii. As this feature weakens and moves away from the state, conditions should dry out this weekend as high pressure builds to the north. Moderate to breezy trade winds are also expected to maintain across the region for the upcoming week, with mainly trade-wind based showers for windward and mountainous areas. Another cold front looks to approach the region from the West by later in the period, but models at this point keep the heaviest rainfall well west of Hawaii at least through next week. Hamrick
