Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 825 AM EDT Sat Jul 26 2014 Valid 00Z Sun Jul 27 2014 - 00Z Sun Aug 03 2014 Island trades well underneath higher latitude blocking should periodically enhance as pressure graidents tighten with passage of a series of tropical features to the south of the state. A favored guidance composite indicates that this occurs even with weakening of high pressure bridged to the north of the state in response to the block. Windward terrain based showers may increase slightly this weekend with any added moisture associated with a lead tropical disturbance passing south of the state as followed by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. Additional opportunities for increased moisture/showers to work into especially the southern islands may be related to Tropical Storm Genevieve located near 12.2N 136.7W at 09 UTC whose weakened remnants should pass just south of the islands in the Thursday to next Saturday time frame and there remains even another tropical disturbance upstream of that near 126W to key an eye on. The National Hurricane Center is now monitoring these two tropical features. Schichtel
