Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 729 AM EST Sun Nov 09 2014 Valid 00Z Mon Nov 10 2014 - 00Z Mon Nov 17 2014 Latest models and ensembles still reasonably agree upon a similar overall mid-larger scale flow pattern for the Hawaiian islands for much of the coming week, so prefer an overall composite solution tp mitigate lingering smaller scale guidance variance. Expect lighter winds/less showers to develop over the state over the next few days as a closed low now northeast of the state gets kicked northeastward today in response to the steady approach of upstream mid-upper level troughing to the lee of a building western Pacific mid-upper level ridge. Most of this trough energy holds north of the islands as numerous flow embedded impulses work through/into the mean trough position, but this pattern should support several trailing frontal surges down into the islands by around midweek and again heading into next weekend along with some enhanced shower potential as moisture moves inland.
