The models/ensemble means continue to show a high amplitude mid
level ridge centered south of the islands and surface ridge north
of the islands through the week, with a weakness in the sfc ridge
as a decaying cold front passes through on early Friday.
Pockets of dry air rotate around the low level ridge, with a
minimum in precipitable water remaining in place over Hawaii much
of the week. Light showers are possible, including when the dying
front approaches near the end of the week.  Limited moisture
reduces chances of any moderate or heavy showers.
Being near the low level ridge also cases trade winds to be light
much of the week.
