235 FXHW01 KWNH 080824 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 324 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025 Valid 00Z Sun 09 Nov 2025 - 00Z Sun 16 Nov 2025 An approaching cold front will bring an increasing risk of rain showers across the northern islands today, pushing southward tonight into Sunday. Weak forcing and shallow moisture will limit rainfall rates and reduce the risk of any flooding. However persistent easterly flow into the terrain should still support a few inches of rain, especially the windward portions of Maui and the Big Island, where the HREF mean and latest ECMWF support upwards of 2 to 4 inches of rain through Monday. Strong winds are likely behind the front with an east- northeasterly direction. Winds should shift back slightly to the easterly direction into early next week while remaining breezy to strong as surface high pressure sets up north of the state. Another front may approach Hawaii mid to late week, bringing another round of light to moderate precipitation as windy conditions continue. Chenard/Tate $$
