Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 828 AM EDT Sat Oct 04 2014 Valid 00Z Sun Oct 05 2014 - 00Z Sun Oct 12 2014 The passage of a series of mid-upper level trough energies to the north and the stalling of a front to the northwest of the islands this weekend leads to weakened lead surface pressure gradients over the state. This supports a pattern with some Hawaiian land/sea breeze showers this weekend into midweek...with a gradual transition to modest trades late week into next weekend as a supporting eastern Pacific ridge builds. This occurs well in advance of the track of a powerful extratropical low associated with current west Pacific Typhoon Phanfone that passes well to the north of Hawaii next week. An associated trailing frontal push underneath could approach the northern islands next weekend. Lead pooling moisture over the islands should continue to fuel island periodic showers as per a prefered composite of reasonably compatable mid-larger scale model and ensemble solutions. Schichtel
