Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 730 AM EST Wed Nov 11 2015 Valid 00Z Thu Nov 12 2015 - 00Z Thu Nov 19 2015 The latest models and ensembles still reasonably agree that surface based high pressure reinforcing to the north and northeast of the state should support brisk island trades into next week. Flow predictability remains above normal given low forecast spread and run-run guidance consistency. A preferred GFS/ECMWF composite has good ensemble support and favors a pattern with mainly windward based showers. Showers will be limited by weakening support aloft, but may benefit from some moisture pooling over the next few days with approach of a weakening old boundary. However, The GFS/ECMWF do agressively develop an amplified mid-upper level trough to the NNW of the state early to mid next week whose associated surface frontal system approach toward the islands and backing trades could result in a much more moist and wet flow pattern.
