A parade of shortwaves in the Westerlies just north of the archipelago bring frontal zones close to the state through, with the first intrusion outside of the Papahanaumokuakea National Marine Monument late Thursday into next Friday into the main islands Friday. Until then, east to southeast Trade Winds are expected with the usual windward showers In the wake of the frontal passage, northeast to east-northeast Trade Winds freshen which should somewhat amplify the development of windward showers. Precipitable water values remain near 1.25", which should be close to average for March, so no significant heavy rain events are on the horizon at this time. Roth
