Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 801 AM EDT Mon Jun 01 2015 Valid 00Z Tue Jun 02 2015 - 00Z Tue Jun 09 2015 Generally quiet pattern for the 50th state with slowly decreasing PW values this week. Recent 00Z/06Z GFS runs still insistent on bringing a surge of > 1.75" PW values to the region Thursday but this still has basically no ensemble support. By late this weekend into next Monday, ensembles suggest upper ridging should be poking northeastward just to the NW of the island chain while the deterministic GFS/ECMWF vary on flatter ridging or lingering troughing. For now will prefer any of the ensemble means. Trades should resume its typical flow later this week after a few days of being weaker than average. Fracasso
