Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 729 AM EST Thu Nov 05 2015 Valid 00Z Fri Nov 06 2015 - 00Z Fri Nov 13 2015 The 5/00Z forecast cycle seemed to be in-line with the current Hawai'i forecasts. Broad area of high pressure --- centered near 40N 150W --- should maintain a moderate trade wind flow for much of this medium range forecast period (day 3-7). Through day 2...the only synoptic-scale feature depicted to be near the forecast area --- is a cutoff low --- currently centered near 20N and the Dateline. The deterministic 5/00Z GFS/ECMWF have some commonality with this feature through 36 hours --- projecting a slow drift to the north ---then an interaction with a mid-latitude trough passing west-to-east along its northern flanks. The ensemble means (ECENS/GEFS) would suggest the feature gradually weakens and drifts westward --- and for several days ---meanders in the central Pacific. Vojtesak
