Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 812 AM EDT Thu Sep 29 2016 Valid 00Z Fri Sep 30 2016 - 00Z Fri Oct 07 2016 Models and ensembles reasonably agree to develop and maintain an amplified mean trough position over the eastern Pacific through the weekend. This favors broad and moderately strong high pressure in its wake that should sustain moderate trades back across the islands. As the trades persist, remnant moisture from tropical storm Ulika is expected to spread across the islands Sunday to Tuesday, leading to an increase in localized heavier rain potential. By early next week, the mean eastern Pacific trough is expected to flatten, which should allow the high pressure in its wake to also weaken, thus causing a reduction in the trades. James
