999 FXHW01 KWNH 110746 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 346 AM EDT Tue Mar 11 2025 Valid 00Z Wed 12 Mar 2025 - 00Z Wed 19 Mar 2025 Over the next few days, surface high pressure in place to the north of Hawaii will promote continued windy trades, with channeling strong winds in favored areas. Some moisture in place will produce showers favoring windward and mauka areas, with some spilling into leeward areas, but generally less shower coverage is likely than the past couple of days. Later this week into the weekend, the first surface high is forecast to drift southeastward, allowing for winds to weaken to more moderate levels on Saturday. But another surface high traversing eastward to the north of the state will likely restrengthen trades early next week. Meanwhile, an upper trough axis is forecast to approach from the west with some lowering heights over Hawaii. This plus a front stalling to the west will draw higher moisture northward across Hawaii, leading to more showers at least in the western islands by early next week. Will continue to monitor the likelihood for increases in rain amounts by that time. Tate $$
