Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 824 AM EDT Wed Sep 02 2015 Valid 00Z Thu Sep 03 2015 - 00Z Thu Sep 10 2015 Tropical Storm Ignacio was located near 25.2N 156.2W at 09 UTC and was packing sustained winds of 60 knots with gusts to 75 knots. Ignacio is forecast to continue on a track well north of the islands over the next several days, but please consult the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) for the most recent weather information. Meanwhile, Hurricane Jimena was located near 17.7N 142.2W at 09 UTC and was packing sustained winds of 100 knots with gusts to 120 knots. Jimena is forecast to track to the NE of the islands by by late this week and beyond, but please consult the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) for updated weather information. In this scenario, a favored composite of models and ensembles would suggest a potentially wet pattern over the next couple of days underneath Ignacio for the Hawaiian islands with the chance for moisture pooled locally heavier downpours under a trough/weakness aloft. Height rises over the state gradually reduces instability and rainfall potential Friday onward into the weekend and especially into early/mid next week in drier flow. Schichtel
