A cold front, currently located north of the Islands this morning,
will pass to the east allowing surface high pressure to move in
behind it. Tradewinds will become more easterly around 10 to 15
kts through Wednesday before the next cold front approaches the
Islands to the north on Thursday. Surface high pressure will once
again establish north/northeast of the state by the weekend. The
latest runs of the ECWMF, UKMET and the GFS remain in  good
agreement with the timing, location and strength of these features
through the week; although, the ECWMF is slightly more amplified.

In terms of sensible weather, there will be fluctuations with the
direction of the trade winds and their intensity as the fronts
approach and once they pass. No significant storm systems appear
to be on the horizon in terms of enhanced rainfall potential, with
the normal trade wind induced showers expected to continue across
the favored terrain, with the highest rainfall chances Monday
night and into Tuesday from the cold front.  Increased oceanic
swells are likely for north-facing coastal areas as a large
cyclone passes well to the north of the region late next week.
