Guidance continues to agree well in showing the establishment and
then persistence of a relatively dry trade pattern.  A weak front
with limited moisture currently drifting southeastward into the
islands will continue its progression through the state over the
next couple days.  Trailing high pressure will then support
northeasterly winds for a day or two.  As the surface ridge north
of the state takes on a more east-west orientation by early next
week, expect trades to turn more easterly and remain from that
direction through the rest of the week.  Toward Thursday-Friday
high pressure will be reinforced by a fast moving center
originating from the western Pacific.  Anticipate only light
windward-focused rainfall during the period with precipitable
water values staying fairly close to normal and a mid level ridge
prevailing over the state from Sunday through Wednesday or
Thursday.
