The subtropical high will remain in place to the north of the
state through the week then shift to the northeast and weaken
slightly this weekend. Northeast to easterly trade winds will
persist, though winds may decrease over the weekend as the high
weakens. This pattern will favor precipitation chances each day
for windward locations, and conditions will remain mainly dry for
southwestern portions of the Islands. A low pressure system is
forecast to develop to the northwest on Friday and bring a
trailing front towards the northernmost islands next week, but the
front will likely be blocked by the subtropical ridge and remain
northwest of the state. Impacts from this system are forecast to
be minimal.
