Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 316 AM EDT Thu Sep 03 2020 Valid 00Z Fri Sep 04 2020 - 00Z Fri Sep 11 2020 The model guidance agreement during the course of the medium range period remains average to above average and features high pressure north of Hawaii strengthening somewhat into this weekend. This should allow for an increase to the trade winds this weekend into early next week. Shower activity will favor windward areas. By early to mid next week, easterly trade flow is well established. The latest GFS favors a bit more rainfall over the course of the period compared to the ECMWF, associated with a weak disturbance retrograding nearby early next week. For now, a compromise is preferred given the relative good agreement from a mass field perspective. Taylor
