Lighter than usual trade winds will develop as a weak, low level
trough drifts west of the state. A few showers will generate in
the lee of the mountains and over locations where sea breeze lift
occurs. The trade winds are expected to increase this weekend and
into early next week as mid-level ridge build north of the
islands. Isolated to scattered windward showers are likely in a
fairly typical trade wind pattern. 

Hurricane Barbara, located hundreds of miles east of the Islands,
is forecast to track northwest through Friday afternoon then more
westward through the weekend. As it approaches, Barbara is
expected to have weakened to a post-tropical depression with its
central low pressure passing just south of Big Island Monday
night. Increased wave heights, coastal surge, winds and heavy rain
may still impact the state prior to, and during the passing of
Barbara. Stay tuned to updates for important details on the
islands.
