Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 827 AM EDT Sat May 26 2018 Valid 00Z Sun May 27 2018 - 00Z Sun Jun 03 2018 Model guidance remains fairly locked into the large scale evolution of flow next week, which should feature the weakening of subtropical ridging initially settled over the Islands this weekend and a compact low closing off just northwest of Kauai Monday/Tuesday. The compact low should then slowly drift westward away from the Islands, but a surge of tropically infused precipitable water values east of the low should align over the state during the middle of next week. Deterministic and ensemble guidance have come into much better agreement with the timing of the westward progression of the closed low, and are even reasonably well clustered with lifting the feature northeastward towards a shortwave crossing the northern Pacific late next week. .
