Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 210 AM EST Mon Mar 08 2021 Valid 00Z Tue Mar 09 2021 - 00Z Tue Mar 16 2021 Models and ensembles now reasonably 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 on either side of a frontal passage. 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 an emerging guidance signal/better guidance forecast clustering for amplified upper trough/low digging to the north/northeast of the state Friday-next Monday that seems increasingly likely to force a rainfall focusing front across the state by Sunday, followed by a drying trend.
