Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 322 AM EDT Mon Sep 21 2020 Valid 00Z Tue Sep 22 2020 - 00Z Tue Sep 29 2020 Upper ridging will remain over the region through the weekend, focused to the northwest and northeast of the area. With deeper moisture confined to near the ITCZ, expect modest trades (at times a bit breezier as surface high pressure moves by) and light to moderate windward/mauka showers, enhanced just a bit as pockets of higher moisture move through. A trough will dig north of the area by early next week, but its surface cold front should still be several hundred miles northwest of Kauai by 00Z next Tue. Tropical depression Seventeen-E is forecast to move westward this week into next week, but should remain east of 150W. The 00Z ECMWF was quite fast with this system, well ahead of the GFS/Canadian and ensembles. Fracasso
