Latest models and ensemble means are fairly similar with the
expected pattern over the next seven days.  A weak cold front
accompanied by only light rainfall will drift southeastward across
the islands late this week into early weekend.  Trailing high
pressure will promote winds from the north or northeast during the
weekend.  Then by next week winds should turn more from the east
as high pressure to the north of the state becomes more elongated.
 Finally a fast moving trailing surface high is forecast to reach
a location northwest/north of the islands by next Friday.  Through
next week there may be some windward focused rainfall but with
generally light amounts.  Guidance expects precipitable water
values to be within a half standard deviation of normal and the
state should be under ridging aloft from Sunday through midweek.
