Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 740 AM EDT Thu Apr 28 2016 Valid 00Z Fri Apr 29 2016 - 00Z Fri May 06 2016 The 28/00Z ECENS/GEFS and their deterministic runs were in extremely good agreement through day 6 (5/00Z) across much --- if not all the western hemisphere from the Dateline eastward to the eastern coast of North America. The models agree with the amplified --- but stable mid-latitude wavelength pattern --- which allows a strong ridge along Canada's west coast to shift eastward and lower pressure (troughing) to prevail across Alaska and the Gulf of Alaska. In turn, this allows the Subtropical Pacific Ocean basin to maintain a strong Subtropical Ridge ---during this particular 7-day forecast period. Current Hawai'i forecasts looked 'on-target' --- with both deterministic pieces of guidance (the ECMWF/GFS) likely to add some value --- even out into the day6-7 period. Vojtesak
