Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 714 AM EST Tue Mar 08 2016 Valid 00Z Wed Mar 09 2016 - 00Z Wed Mar 16 2016 The 08/00Z ECMWF/GFS and their ensemble means appeared to be in line with the current Hawai'i 7-day forecast. Short-term frontal passage (day 1-2)--- and convective bands moving northward ahead of the front should bring an overall increase in areal coverage of precipitation across the state. Medium range forecasts over the central Pacific basin were adequately depicted by the 8/00Z ECENS/NAEFS means --- with strong surface high pressure/higher heights aloft --- building in from the west northwest through next Monday (day 6).
