Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 708 AM EST Mon Feb 16 2015 Valid 00Z Tue Feb 17 2015 - 00Z Tue Feb 24 2015 Slowly rising heights in the next couple of days will mean a more typical trade pattern with only isolated showers. By late Thursday into Friday, a cold front will approach the NW islands and push through the state Saturday. GFS lies on the more aggressive side of the model/ensemble spread with the front/QPF but the 00Z ECMWF may have backed off too much. A compromise solution should suffice until the upstream pattern becomes more clear. Both solutions indicate lingering showers into next Monday. Fracasso
