Windward/mauka showers are expected but should generally be on the light side. Upper ridging is forecast to strengthen atop the region starting midweek next week which will increase trades as surface high pressure strengthens to the northwest of Kauai and moves eastward Wed-Fri next week. Rainfall will be on the light side on favored windward/mauka areas but will remain light due to a rather stable atmosphere. Models/ensembles were in good agreement through the period. Fracasso
