Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 823 AM EDT Wed Oct 23 2019 Valid 00Z Thu Oct 24 2019 - 00Z Thu Oct 31 2019 Slackening trades will again pick up to breezy levels next week with increased pressure gradient. Upper heights will rise briefly over the weekend before troughing slides westward over the region around the middle of next week. The ECMWF was more aggressive than most of the ensembles as it brought in additional height falls from the north-northwest, but about 1/3 of the ensemble members showed this as well. A couple frontal boundaries will approach the northwest islands from the northwest during the next week but generally not push into the area. Brief surges in moisture will enhance an otherwise typical trade wind pattern with light windward/mauka showers. More uncertainty lies with the front by next Wednesday given the spread in solutions.
