A favored composite of reasonably well clustered mid-larger scale
guidance indicates that high pressure now bridged to the north of
the islands should maintain moderate to breezy easterly trades
into midweek. Clouds and showers that form should favor windward
and mauka areas, but should be limited within a pattern with
generally below normal moisture. Upper trough amplification and
slow approach toward the state from the east should act to weaken
that portion of the high pressure ridge and associated island
trades by later this week in a pattern with slowly returning
moisture and shower activity through the weekend into early next
week. Upper trough development to over the state over the weekend
should further pool moisture and destabilize, with growing
potential for the onset of deeper tropical moisture to the state
early next week to fuel activity.
