Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 210 AM EST Fri Feb 4 2022 Valid 00Z Sat Feb 5 2022 - 00Z Sat Feb 12 2022 The western edge of the mid-latitude high will be situated north of Hawaii with a col in the ridge over the northwestern most Islands. Multiple storm systems passing across the North Pacific will result in cold fronts getting close to the western Islands, but not likely making more southeastward progress based on the latest GEFS/ECENS ensemble means. Meanwhile, a broad upper level trough is likely to develop east of the Big Island early next week, and this feature should gradually track east and away from the state. In terms of sensible weather, expect generally east-northeast trades on the order of 10-20 mph on most days, except more of a southeasterly component from Maui and points northwestward where there will be more inflow towards the stalling fronts. Rainfall chances will likely be a little higher on Monday with the proximity of the upper trough, but most other days should have the typical trade wind enhanced showers. Hamrick
