Guidance continues to show high pressure along 40N latitude
tracking from east to west during the period, supporting a trade
pattern with primarily windward/mountain focus for showers. Gusty
winds may continue into about Saturday, with speeds generally
decreasing thereafter as the high continues westward and upper
troughing approaches from the northeast. Guidance agrees that most
of the main islands should remain in an axis of below-climatology
precipitable water values for several days with upper ridging
through the first part of next week also helping to keep rainfall
totals on the light side. By Tuesday-Thursday there is some spread
for details of the upper trough pushing in from the northeast, but
the ensemble means offer a reasonable starting point for this
aspect of the forecast.
