Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 336 AM EDT Mon Mar 29 2021 Valid 00Z Tue Mar 30 2021 - 00Z Tue Apr 6 2021 An inverted surface trough is developing near 170 degrees west, in response to an upper low situated near 30 degrees north that remains nearly anchored in place through much of the week. This will evolve into a closed surface low that will slowly track westward and away from the state. A typical trade wind pattern should prevail this week with showers mainly confined to windward regions, and continue through much of next week. Easterly flow of 15-25 mph with higher gusts will be likely, with the greatest coverage of showers across the windward terrain of the Big Island. The heavy rainfall associated with the developing trough mentioned earlier should remain well west of the state. Hamrick
