Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 804 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2014 Valid 00Z Mon Jun 16 2014 - 00Z Mon Jun 23 2014 Upper ridging initially in the Northeast Pacific will weaken midweek as upstream ridging near the Aleutians/Dateline translates eastward. Troughing should linger over the state but amid lower than climo PW values over the next couple of days. Thereafter, the 00Z ECMWF is on the more aggressive side of the ensemble envelope with its closed low at 500mb just NW of the state as well as its PW values. The 00Z EC mean lies in between the ECMWF and the 00Z-06Z GFS, and is a reasonable compromise. Precip should still be on the light side, though the ensembles have increased probabilities to the north of the 50th state. Fracasso
