Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 759 AM EDT Thu Jul 12 2018 Valid 00Z Fri Jul 13 2018 - 00Z Fri Jul 20 2018 Models continue to show the upper ridge building through the region during the next few days. The ECMWF/GFS and their ensemble members are showing an upper level weakness drifting westward north of Hawai'i through the weekend. In addition, PW values will also be on the increase this weekend. Consequently, isolated windward showers can be expected this weekend and into next week--with QPF values the highest in the favored windward areas especially late in the weekend and next week. Overall, compromise between GFS/ECMWF is still acceptable. Reinhart
