Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 810 AM EDT Sun Mar 08 2015 Valid 00Z Mon Mar 09 2015 - 00Z Mon Mar 16 2015 The 8/00Z forecast cycle continues to project an amplification of the upper-level flow pattern between 150W and the Mainland---with a well-defined upper-level system near 38N 151W migrating northeastward---and initiating the process on Monday and Tuesday. The long wave trough along 155W is replaced by another upper-level wave---migrating from the western Aleutians to 35N 150W (north of Hawai'i) between day 4-5. Thought the ECMWF, Canadian and the ECENS/NAEFS were better scenarios across the Pacific and displayed much better continuity. Considering the volatility and ensemble spread for much of North American, Alaska and the north central Pacific, the ECENS/NAEFS blend beyond day 5 appears to hold down and stabilize the pattern and day 6-7 forecast period.
