625 FXHW01 KWNH 140729 PMDHI Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 229 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025 Valid 00Z Sat 15 Nov 2025 - 00Z Sat 22 Nov 2025 Expect island trades to weaken a bit to more moderate to breezy levels heading through the weekend as the supporting surface high to the northeast of the state slowly loses influence. By early to mid next week, there remain some guidance signals for tropical moisture to be pulled north toward the state as troughing at the surface and aloft yields southerly flow. Recent GFS runs and GEFS members have overall been aggressive with the troughing, leading to high moisture levels coming into the state by Monday and lasting into mid-late next week. This also relates to a cold front northwest of the state, which recent GFS runs have approaching the state by midweek. Recent ECMWF runs have also favored upper trough development just west of the state, but with more muted surface troughing, more typical trades and less frontal approach and moisture influx. GEFS and EC ensemble means and have some increased QPF and moisture anomalies, but are more muted than the GFS. Given uncertainties, favor a solution closer to the ensemble means, albeit with upstream/downstream flow amplitude at lower latitudes lending preference for a wet period. Schichtel $$
