Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 649 AM EDT Fri Jul 31 2015 Valid 00Z Sat Aug 01 2015 - 00Z Sat Aug 08 2015 Quiet pattern for the next few days as upper ridging drifts westward through the weekend. Early next week the remnants of TD 8E is forecast to drift west southwestward between 11-15N south of the islands. However, part of its moisture will overspread the eastern islands -- and an increase in rainfall is likely, especially in windward locations of the Big Island. The next system on its heels is Tropical Cyclone Guillermo. The latest National Hurricane Center (NHC) track takes it east of the big island with a motion in its general direction. Individual ECMWF and GFS runs show timing changes and north-south differences on the track. More ECMWF ensembles show a track south of the big island, in contrast with the 00-06z GFS showing a track north of the islands next Wed-Thu, 05-06 Aug. A track at or south of the islands would induce a heavy rainfall threat, so the system will be watched closely. See the latest advisories from the NHC for the official track and intensity forecasts and resultant impacts. Petersen
