Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 741 AM EDT Thu May 19 2016 Valid 00Z Fri May 20 2016 - 00Z Fri May 27 2016 The 19/00Z ECMWF/GFS deterministic guidance---and their respective ensemble packages 'mirror' the current Hawai'i forecast philosophy until 26/12Z. Where the 19/00Z cycle deterministic guidance varies and results in a subtle impact on the Subtropical central Pacific---is tied to a day 7 storm track over southwest Alaska and northern Gulf of Alaska. In short, a consensus approach will work through 25/12Z, then steer (and or taper away) from the deterministic GFS by 26/12Z. This philosophy would then incorporate more of a 60/20/20 ratio (blend) of the 19/00Z ECENS, GEFS and deterministic ECMWF for day 7. Vojtesak
