Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 801 AM EDT Mon Aug 31 2015 Valid 00Z Tue Sep 01 2015 - 00Z Tue Sep 08 2015 The 31/00Z model cycle was in very good agreement with the north Pacific synoptic-scale flow pattern---and has resolved the forecast challenge along 160W next weekend with the vorticity entrainment of 'Ignacio' into the mid-latitude westerlies. Recommend a day 6-7 solution in line with the 31/00Z ECENS. The GEFS was a reasonable alternative---but considerably more 'zonal' downstream in the northeast Pacific and Mainland west coast. Prior to day 6 (6/12Z)---please consult the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) for the most recent weather information concerning 'Kilo' and 'Ignacio'. Vojtesak
