A cold front will push away from the islands later today, starting
a drier trend for the region. Models and ensembles show heights
building for the weekend into next week as the subtropical upper
high sets up west of the area near the Dateline. This will support
drier conditions with breezy trades from the northeast, veering to
the east, as 1022-1024mb highs meander to the north and northeast
of Hawai'i. Isolated to maybe scattered windward/mauka showers are
expected with generally light accumulations. By the end of the
period next Thursday, a trough is forecast to dip near but likely
east of the region around 140-145W.
