Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 808 AM EDT Sun Oct 11 2015 Valid 00Z Mon Oct 12 2015 - 00Z Mon Oct 19 2015 During Sun-Mon expect gradual weakening of a surface trough and band of enhanced deep moisture that have been helping to focus shower activity over portions of the state, with light prevailing winds allowing for some influence from sea breezes. Then a trough aloft passing by to the north of the state will help to push a front through the region around Tue with trailing high pressure to the northwest bringing northerly/northeasterly winds. By next weekend trades should gain somewhat more of an easterly component as the surface high gradually builds eastward. Windward focused shower activity from midweek onward should be more prevalent over the Big Island and vicinity with precipitable water values generally trending lower as one travels to the northwest. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center is currently issuing advisories for T.S. Nora, whose track should reach no closer to the islands than 147-148W longitude as per the 0900 UTC advisory. Rausch
