Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 806 AM EDT Sat Sep 07 2019 Valid 00Z Sun Sep 08 2019 - 00Z Sun Sep 15 2019 The latest model/ensemble runs offer similar ideas over the next seven days. Through the weekend expect brisk trades due to the combination of strengthening high pressure over the mid-latitude Pacific and low pressure associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Akoni passing to the south of the state. Trades will likely weaken somewhat over the course of next week as the initial surface high weakens and upstream high pressure achieves only moderate strength. Showers will tend to favor windward/mauka areas though could occasionally stray to leeward locations as well. Rainfall next week could trend a little heavier than this weekend as an upper low reaches a position to the northeast of the islands and heights aloft decrease. The very northern fringe of moisture from Akoni's remnants could brush the Big Island around Sunday. Then anticipate precipitable water values within a standard deviation on either side of normal through at least midweek. By next Saturday latest GFS/ECMWF runs and their ensemble means generally agree on area of greater moisture reaching the state from the east/southeast. Rausch
