Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 729 AM EST Sat Feb 06 2016 Valid 00Z Sun Feb 07 2016 - 00Z Sun Feb 14 2016 A strong cold front will reach Kauai tonight and drop quickly southeastward through the Big Island Sunday. This occurs well underneath a main deep low lifting well north of the state. Amplified mid-upper level trough passage dynamics and moisture pooling should favor organized but progressive showers with precipitable water values rising above 1.25" along the front. A strong wind shift and airmass change will lead into predominantly dry light flow pattern all next week. A composite of compatable model and ensemble guidance is preferred overall in a pattern with above normal predictability. Schichtel
