Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 821 AM EDT Mon May 09 2016 Valid 00Z Tue May 10 2016 - 00Z Tue May 17 2016 The dissipating front currently over the Big Island will continue to weaken but its moisture axis will remain mostly in the same place over the southeastern islands through most of this work week. Rainfall should slowly lessen in coverage and intensity with time and lift northwestward by Sunday. Pressure gradient is forecast to relax and trades should drop off as well by Friday/Saturday. The ensembles show heights building next Sun/Mon with the ECMWF ensembles most aggressive compared to the 00Z GEFS. Compromise between the 06Z GFS and 00Z ECMWF clusters well with the 00Z ECENS mean. Trades should pick up again next week in earnest as sfc high pressure strengthens near 35N/142W -- again the ECENS mean was a couple mb stronger than the GEFS. Preference lies toward the slightly more amplified ECENS mean which is in between the 06Z GFS and 00Z ECMWF. Fracasso
