171 FXHW01 KWNH 170816 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 316 AM EST Mon Nov 17 2025 Valid 00Z Tue 18 Nov 2025 - 00Z Tue 25 Nov 2025 ...Wet pattern to develop over the islands this week... Trades are expected to gradually weaken over the next few days as the supporting surface high to the northeast of the state loses influence. Guidance mass field solutions remain reasonably well clustered for much of the upcoming week, bolstering forecast confidence. Tropical moisture will be pulled north to the state as troughing at the surface and aloft settles over/west of the state along with a slow frontal approach from the northwest. This will fuel chances for enhanced island downpours with focus Tuesday into Thursday. Trades and an increasing windward terrain rain pattern focus should uptick mid-later week as renewed high pressure bridges to the north of the state, albeit with a trend toward reduced moisture heading into next weekend. Later, less certain upstream upper trough and frontal approach by Sunday may renew leading moisture return and rainfall potential again to monitor. Schichtel $$
