Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 700 AM EST Wed Dec 03 2014 Valid 00Z Thu Dec 04 2014 - 00Z Thu Dec 11 2014 The global numerical guidance continues to indicate that a trough will repeatedly reload throughout the next week well to the east of Hawai'i, keeping a dry, generally northeast flow across the state. Deep-layer tropical moisture should be shunted off well south and west of the islands. Very little precipitation is expected, with many areas seeing no rain whatsoever. Even the normally wet terrain of the Big Island may not net more than an inch or so. At the very end of this forecast period--around 00Z Thursday December 11--the ECMWF shows that there may be enough retrogression of the longwaves to allow a more direct approach of a cold front from the north.
