Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 728 AM EST Tue Dec 06 2016 Valid 00Z Wed Dec 07 2016 - 00Z Wed Dec 14 2016 ...Wet unsettled pattern will linger for next week... Despite a lull in enhanced rainfall across the state... a distinct weakness west of the islands will advance downstream and allow return flow from the tropics to impact the eastern third of the chain. This appears to begin on Wednesday and could hang around for the next week... as the amplified upper trough generally west of the islands locks in broad southwesterly upper-level flow and anomalous moisture content... at or about 1.5 to 2 inch precipitable water values. By next Tuesday... the upper trough axis should be located over the state and the main moisture plume over the eastern islands/Big Island and/or east of the state. Musher
