Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 729 AM EST Thu Nov 09 2017 Valid 00Z Fri Nov 10 2017 - 00Z Fri Nov 17 2017 It remains the case that recent models and ensembles still generally agree that weakening upper ridging over the region will shift westward and be replaced by troughing this weekend into next week, nudging westward past 150W. This supports a fairly quiet pattern through the weekend with generally light windward/mauka showers via modest trades. Precipitable water values are forecast to remain near to below average until next week when a gradual increase is likely. This should bring an increase to shower activity over the eastern islands (Big Island and Maui) as well as favored windward areas. A guidance composite seems reasonable. Schichtel
