Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 716 AM EST Mon Dec 29 2014 Valid 00Z Tue Dec 30 2014 - 00Z Tue Jan 06 2015 The 29/00z forecast cycle was in very good agreement across the Subtropical central Pacific---and particularly with a 500mb trough axis invof 155W around 3/12Z (Saturday). Unlike the past couple of days, the 29/00Z GEFS and deterministic GFS run could be included in the forecast process---and even into day 6 (4/12z). To balance out the entire day 1-7 forecast period, recommend an equally-blended 29/00Z ECENS/GEFS mean---with no preference with respect to the deterministic run of choice. The deterministic GFS is a slightly deeper/stronger system in the Subtropical Pacific versus the ECMWF. Vojtesak
