Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 824 AM EDT Tue Jul 29 2014 Valid 00Z Wed Jul 30 2014 - 00Z Wed Aug 06 2014 Mid-latitude stagnation--in the Pacific flow pattern--offers some degree of ensemble agreement for upper-level troughing along 150W longitude. The 29/00Z ECENS/GEFS for a slow northeastward migration of a closed h5-to-sfc low through the central gulf of Alaska and maintain a surface ridge to the northeast of the Hawai'ian Islands into day 6 (4/00Z). This allows remnants of 'Genevieve' to pass south of the islands and maintain a general track along 20N latitude through the upcoming weekend. Unfortunately, the deterministic GFS/ECMWF agree that it will be an active period in the tropical east Pacific with additional tropical disturbances progged to develop invof 15N 125W (an origination region/point) around day 3 (Friday)...and follow a track that is a tad north and west of where 'Genevieve' is progged to move through time. Can see merit in blending pieces of the GFS/ECMWF deterministic with their means to handle the next 7 days. Please monitor/consult more detailed information from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center and National Hurricane Center concerning tropical weather developments. Vojtesak
