Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 728 AM EST Thu Nov 17 2016 Valid 00Z Fri Nov 18 2016 - 00Z Fri Nov 25 2016 Latest model/ensemble runs provide fairly good agreement and continuity for the upcoming week's forecast. Expect trades to be on the breezy side for most of the period as supported by an ongoing series of mid-latitude Pacific surface highs. The last high building north of the state by next Tuesday-Wednesday will likely be the strongest one and thus provide the tightest surface gradient/strongest trade winds. The majority of showers should be in the light to moderate range and tend to focus over windward terrain. On a relative basis there may be increased shower activity during the weekend and early next week with the trailing end of a front reaching the area Friday-Saturday and precipitable water values increasing to slightly above 1.25 inches at some locations. Expect moisture to decrease somewhat toward midweek. James
