Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 321 AM EDT Tue Mar 15 2022 Valid 00Z Wed Mar 16 2022 - 00Z Wed Mar 23 2022 Upper ridging is forecast to remain in place through about mid-week before weak shortwave troughing passes just north of the region. Breezy to moderate trades will weaken some as the front approaches but stays to the north. By Monday, a stronger trough passes by to the north and erodes the upper ridge that will be in place through the upcoming weekend. Precipitation chances through the week will be highest for the topographically favored terrain, particularly for Wednesday and Thursday as a diffuse area of moisture moves in from the southeast. However, no major heavy rainfall events are expected over the upcoming week. Hamrick
