Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 716 AM EST Wed Nov 04 2015 Valid 00Z Thu Nov 05 2015 - 00Z Thu Nov 12 2015 Models and ensembles remain in relatively good agreement on the pattern in the central Pacific over the next week. Precipitable water values are forecast to rise today as the upper high drifts westward just north of the state and a front approaches from the northeast. Stronger upper ridging is forecast to build between 40-50N near the Aleutians this weekend, reflected as a 1040mb surface high along 40N. Trades will be on the breezy side and with PW values between 1.25-1.50 inches, windward showers should be common. Recent GFS/ECMWF runs offer reasonable solutions, as do their ensemble means. Biggest difference lies in how much heights may lower to near 585dm by next Wednesday -- the ECMWF ensembles are more aggressive than the GEFS members. Fracasso
