Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 829 AM EDT Sun Mar 29 2015 Valid 00Z Mon Mar 30 2015 - 00Z Mon Apr 06 2015 The development of moderate trades under ridging aloft will only support limited windward showers over the next few days, but shortwave passage north of the state today will slowly weaken the ridge to allow some gradual moisture return. This leads into stronger southern stream impulse energy and height falls working into the state Tuesday along with some deeper moisture to fuel more widespread shower potential. Less certain specifics with additional system approach from the WNW Thursday/Friday may ease trades and refresh local showers. Models and ensembles are in reasonable agreement with this overall scenario, at least at mid-larger spatial scales. Still prefer a guidance composite given modest forecast spread, but with later week onward timing/amplitude issues inherent with smaller scale systems. Schichtel
