Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 806 AM EDT Sun Jul 05 2015 Valid 00Z Mon Jul 06 2015 - 00Z Mon Jul 13 2015 The latest models and ensembles still reasonably agree that light island trades should prevail over the next couple days along with limited sea breeze based showers under a lingering mean weakness aloft. Trades should reach moderate levels Tuesday into Wednesday as high pressure starts to bridge to the north of the state and the potential for some influx of tropical moisture from the southeast of the state could lead to more widespread showers over the Big Island. High pressure continues to build to the north of the state late week into next weekend that should support more brisk trade flow and terrain based lift. Gradients into next weekend may be further enhanced by potential tropical system approach that is currently being monitired by the National Hurricane Center. The developing system is now brewing well southeast of the state over the tropical eastern Pacific where satellite imagery continues to show convection bubbling in the genesis area. GFS/ECMWF/CMC model and ensemble guidance offer above normal forecast clustering and implied predictability with this feature through much of the forecast. Schichtel
