Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 725 AM EST Mon Jan 12 2015 Valid 00Z Tue Jan 13 2015 - 00Z Tue Jan 20 2015 The latest models and ensembles still reasonably agree to hold a shielding mid-upper level ridge along/south of the islands over the next week. Fast flow with a progressive/energetic system track and associated frontal focus is mainly held to the north of the state. In this pattern, expect generally below normal trades, moisture, and rainfall over Hawaii. Light showers are possible, especially when a front stalls near the western islands heading into the weekend and allow some lead moisture return into the islands, but otherwise limited moisture will reduces chances of moderate or heavy showers statewide.
