Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 811 AM EST Mon Nov 28 2016 Valid 00Z Tue Nov 29 2016 - 00Z Tue Dec 06 2016 It remains the case that one surface high to the northeast of the state followed by another high progressing from the northwest along 35-40N latitude will support fairly brisk mean trades through mid-late week. Lightest shower activity should be at the start of the week when precipitable water values are lowest. Values increase Tue-Wed as guidance brings in a pocket of moisture from the northeast. However, guidance then shows a wetter pattern as an upper low settles near/just south of the islands by mid-late week. Amplifying upstream energy may dislodge the upper low but likely pull more moisture northward through next weekend, and could act to dig new unsettling mid-upper trough energy over/just west of the state to prolong wet island conditions. Prefer a composite solution of resonably well clustered model and ensemble guidance at mid-larger scales. Smaller scale details are more problematic at these longer time frames, but the upcoming pattern could produce a period with heavy rainfall potential. Schichtel
