Latest models and ensembles still reasonably agree that a
weakening front now stalled over the islands should allow pooled
moisture fuel some lingering showers over the state today under a
mean ridge aloft. A second front should stall/weaken over the
state from the weekend as a north-central Pacific to Alaska storm
passes well north of the state, but supporting height falls aloft
remain limited. High pressure building north of the state in the
wake of this storm favors increased island trades underneath from
the weekend into mid/late next week, but rainfall should be
confined to favored windward terrain. A composite model and
ensemble forecast approach offers excellent continuity.
