Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 812 AM EDT Wed May 17 2017 Valid 00Z Thu May 18 2017 - 00Z Thu May 25 2017 Trades will ease today as the pressure gradient relaxes a bit over the next couple of days. Models/ensembles indicate a rather quiet pattern into the weekend with mainly light windward showers. Differences appear by next week (late Sunday into Monday) with how far south to push a front toward/over Kauai. The GEFS and ECMWF ensembles differ on how to handle the flow over the North Pacific and the ECMWF represents one of the farther south solutions while the 06Z GFS was farther north (along with the 00Z Canadian). The 00Z GFS or its parallel run may offer a reasonable middle ground solution that would keep the front just north of the region next week. Fracasso
