The upper level low currently situated north of Hawaii is expected
to track gradually westward near 30 degrees north through the end
of the week and slowly weaken, having little effect on the state. 
Meanwhile, the core of the surface high is expected to reside
between 40-45 degrees north, with the strongest trades and
pressure gradient likely north of the Islands.

Hurricane Linda in the eastern Pacific is forecast to track
west-northwest over the next several days and gradually weaken
over cooler waters as it approaches to the northeast of the Big
Island on Sunday.  Some of the latest model projections take Linda
very close to the western portions of the island chain by Monday
albeit in a much weaker form.  The latest run of the ECMWF brings
rainfall from this system near the northwestern Islands early next
week, while the GFS keeps the moisture farther north with less
overall impact.
