High pressure to the northeast of Hawaii will continue to support
a period of brisk to strong winds through about Thursday. Winds
look to trend much lighter and in a more southeasterly direction
thereafter as the flow turns more zonal and a couple of systems
pass well to the north. The overall pattern supports mostly dry
conditions with any showers mainly confined to windward facing
slopes. A slight uptick in shower chances around Sunday-Monday
with a shortwave moving through the region. Upper ridging looks to
build back over the state mid-next week with potential for a
strong cold front to approach from the Northwest in about a weeks
time. The latest models and ensembles continue to show excellent
agreement on this pattern with some variability in some of the
smaller scale details.
