High pressure initially settling to the north-northwest of the
state will gradually build eastward Friday-Monday.  This high will
support fairly brisk trades through the period with strongest
winds likely to be early this week.  There is still a hint of a
brief weakening of the surface gradient around late week/weekend
with the passage of some energy aloft from the north/northeast. 
However models have generally trended weaker with this energy
compared to yesterday so trends would suggest that any changes in
trades may be minimal.  Expect precipitable water values to be
above normal early this week and then trend to somewhat below
normal over most locations by the latter half of the week and
continuing into Sunday-Monday.  There is still potential for an
axis of enhanced moisture passing to the north/northwest of the
state to brush the far northwestern islands around the weekend. 
Thus far guidance has been variable in exactly how far southeast
this area of higher moisture will extend.  On average expect
windward favored showers in the lighter half of the spectrum. 
There may be some local enhancement early this week before
precipitable water decreases, and again toward the weekend
depending on evolution of energy aloft.
