Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 812 AM EDT Sat Sep 20 2014 Valid 00Z Sun Sep 21 2014 - 00Z Sun Sep 28 2014 Models and ensembles show reasonable agreement on upper ridging initially NW of Hawai'i near the Dateline to move eastward along 30N through much of next week. Elevated PW values over the Big Island this weekend will drop off below climo values (which are just under 1.50 inches) to about 1.20 inches. By about midweek, the upper/sfc high near 165W should help advect more moisture from the northeast into the area. With a stronger than average pressure gradient, trades should be higher than average with scattered showers through the period becoming more widespread by later in the week per the ensembles (not unlike the 00Z ECMWF).
