In the subtropical and tropical central Pacific, the guidance
shows very good overall agreement in the pattern expected.  A
strong surface low tracking generally eastward around 35 degrees
north is pushing a cold front across the islands at this time,
which should clear the archipelago later today.  This allows high
pressure to build southward and dominate the weather pattern,
increasing northeast trade winds today through Tuesday before
weakening as a second front moves slowly through the
Papahanaumokuakea National Marine Monument.  This boundary should
stall before reaching the main islands Friday before a third cold
front approaches on Sunday.  Thursday into Friday and again on
Sunday appear to be the best chances for rains across the western
main islands (Niihau, Kaua'i and O'ahu).  Otherwise, precipitable
water values remain near or below 1.25", which should indicate
minimal chances for shower activity from this afternoon onward.
