Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 712 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2014 Valid 00Z Wed Nov 12 2014 - 00Z Wed Nov 19 2014 Models and ensembles maintain reasonable agreement with the forecast for the next week. Therefore would recommend an average of latest guidance to resolve lingering timing/detail differences. A leading front initially approaching the area will stall over/near the northwestern islands. Then an amplifying trough aloft to the north will push a second cold front into the region late this week into the weekend. Expect the combination of these features at the surface and aloft to pull low latitude tropical moisture northward/northeastward across the islands during the latter half of the week, likely enhancing rainfall potential in that time frame. The forecast pattern may favor more rainfall than indicated in recent GFS runs though perhaps not quite to the extent of some maximum values seen in ECMWF runs. Trade flow should return by Sun-Tue as a weak surface high tracks north of the state. Light nature of trades may allow for some degree of land/sea breeze focus to shower activity. Rausch
