Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 711 AM EST Tue Jan 12 2016 Valid 00Z Wed Jan 13 2016 - 00Z Wed Jan 20 2016 Models and ensembles generally agree on the pattern over the Pacific, with a weak cold front pushing toward Oahu on late Thursday into Friday before stalling and dissipating. Ensembles show a brief (~18hr) rise in PW values before settling back to near climo values for January. Surface ridging is forecast to bridge over the state to the north this weekend into early next week and sink slowly southward. Enhanced shower activity is expected around the front, but will mainly be focused between Maui and Kauai. Trades will be disrupted through most of the period around the wind shear axis until next week. Fracasso
