Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 726 AM EDT Mon Jul 11 2016 Valid 00Z Tue Jul 12 2016 - 00Z Tue Jul 19 2016 The 11/00Z GFS/ECMWF looked like very reasonable pieces of forecast guidance through 17/12Z --- with both closing off a 'blocky' 500mb HIGH invof 44N 150W by 19/00Z (day 7). Beneath the closed high---a 1040mb+ surface center should become a stable feature in the eastern Pacific deep into the week 2 forecast realm (8-14 day). This will create more of a 'due east' component to the tradewind regime for the Islands. A blend of the 11/00Z ECENS/GEFS means should serve well --- as a baseline for tracking an active 'string' of tropical disturbances in the southeast Pacific. Please refer to the NHC for official day 1-5 forecasts in the tropical southeast Pacific. Vojtesak
