Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 818 AM EDT Fri Sep 26 2014 Valid 00Z Sat Sep 27 2014 - 00Z Sat Oct 04 2014 Upper ridging and surface high pressure currently to the northeast of Hawai'i will ease eastward and weaken through the weekend, with slowly weakening trades. By next week, the remains of tropical storm Kammuri in the west Pacific should be entrained into the westerlies along 40N and an in situ upper low south of the Aleutians. The GFS/GEFS runs are a little south of the ECMWF and ECENS/NAEFS means positions by Tue/Wed and are a bit wetter over the Hawaiian islands despite comparable forecast PW values from each ensemble system. Regardless, showers should be more widespread than average during the next week with higher than average PW values between 1.50-1.75" or so. Models/ensembles keep the cold front near 30N/160W by next Friday. Fracasso
