Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 823 AM EDT Wed Jul 02 2014 Valid 00Z Thu Jul 03 2014 - 00Z Thu Jul 10 2014 Upper ridging should build to the N/NW of Hawaii for the end of the week, which will maintain trades that may back slightly from E to ENE. Light trade showers are expected amid below climo PW values. By midweek next week, the ensembles diverge as to where and how strong upper ridging should develop either to the north of Hawaii (per the GEFS/Canadian ensembles) or to the WNW (per the EC ensembles). The GEFS have departed from a better consensus in the West Pacific while the EC ensembles have remained rather steady. Would lean more on the EC ensembles at this point, which is a less-defined version of the 00Z ECMWF. Fracasso
