.DISCUSSION...
A low aloft NE of the islands will remain nearly stationary
tonight, then move W through the weekend, with the core of the
low passing over waters N of the islands this weekend.
This low will bring the potential for increased low cloud and
shower coverage and intensity, mainly Saturday through Sunday.
There is a slight chance of thunderstorms producing a few cloud
to surface lightning strikes.

Otherwise, the passage of the low aloft will have an effect on low-level
winds, with subtle changes expected through the period. In summary,
gentle to moderate ENE trade winds will veer to the E Saturday, and
to the ESE Saturday night and Sunday as a weak and subtle low-level
trough moves from E to W across the area. The ESE wind direction
will prevail over the area from at least 20N to 28N between 160W
and 153W.

The low aloft will move N of the area Monday and Tuesday, eliminating
the potential for heavy showers and/or thunderstorms, while also
allowing strengthening trade winds to back to a more typical ENE
direction.
