Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 243 AM EST Sat Mar 06 2021 Valid 00Z Sun Mar 07 2021 - 00Z Sun Mar 14 2021 Models and ensembles reasonably agree that moisture will gradually increase this weekend, followed by an influx of deeper tropical moisture next week as trades tend to veer to the southeast with modest upper trough reinforcement over the state. High pressure meanwhile will build and bridge to the north then northeast of the islands to support moderate to brisk trades. A preferred guidance composite favors a wetter period with heavy rainfall potential for the Big Island enhanced over windward terrain. There is an emerging guidance signal for amplified upper trough/low digging to the north of the state heading into next weekend that may also force an a precipitation focusing front toward the islands.
