Continue to expect variable winds as progressive mid-latitude flow
brings a series of surface fronts toward the state.  One front,
currently heading into the islands and accompanied by shower
activity, will weaken/stall as a stronger front approaches and
reaches the state on Tue.  High pressure behind this second front
will likely bring a brief period of brisk northerly winds into Tue
night.  Then winds will weaken and turn more northeasterly as high
pressure weakens/elongates.  Guidance has come closer together for
the next front in the series, bringing it near the northern
islands by Sat.  This front should then return northward Sun as
high pressure tracking north of the islands Sat continues eastward
and yet another front begins coming into the picture northwest of
the islands next Mon.  In general expect what rainfall occurs
during the forecast period to be on the light side, especially
over central and northern areas where precipitable water values
should be below normal most of the period.  PWATs may reach 1.25"
or so over the Big Island, allowing for slightly more
terrain-enhanced rainfall.
