Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 821 AM EDT Thu Aug 13 2015 Valid 00Z Fri Aug 14 2015 - 00Z Fri Aug 21 2015 ...'Hilda' remains a feature of the Hawai'i sensible weather pattern... Please continue referring to the official Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) forecasts for the latest information regarding 'Hilda' and the storm's sensible weather impacts. From the 13/00Z model cycle --- the deterministic GFS/ECMWF continue to feature several sub-synoptic scale entities --- not related to 'Hilda' --- which seem to keep a rather quasi-stationary flow pattern in place across the forecast area through the forecast period. The 13/00Z deterministic GFS/ECMWF and their ensemble packages (ECENS/GEFS mean) continue to feature a nearly-stationary, but shallow mid-level circulation (TUTT cell) --- invof 30N 160W --- through Tuesday (18/12z). The second feature of the pattern (a highly-sheared wave)---has spread mid-level moisture across the western half of the state. But currently has not generated additional sensible weather issues. The current GFS/ECMWF continue to feature this entity as a shallow moisture source for the forecast area---through the weekend. For the current sub-synoptic scale features --- a blend of the 13/00Z deterministic GFS/ECMWF and their ensembles means will yield good results. Vojtesak
