Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 157 AM EST Sun Mar 07 2021 Valid 00Z Mon Mar 08 2021 - 00Z Mon Mar 15 2021 Models and ensembles agree that a series of potent high pressure cells will build and bridge to the north then northeast of the islands to support moderate to brisk trades for much of the next week. Moisture will increase over the next few days as trades tend to veer southeastward with modest upper troughing over the state. A preferred guidance composite favors a wetter period with heavy rainfall potential for the Big Island enhanced over windward terrain. There is also a guidance signal for amplified upper trough digging to the north of the state into next weekend that may also force an a precipitation focusing front to the state. The 00 UTC GFS has trended weaker with the forcing upper trough and frontal progression, but that trend is not strongly supported by the other models and GEFS/ECENS ensembles. Schichtel
