MODERATE TRADES ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT SOME MAINLY WINDWARD  
SHOWER ACTIVITY INTO MONDAY. MEANWHILE THOUGH, DEEP UPPER TROUGH  
AMPLIFICATION OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL FORCE A WELL DEFINED  
COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE ISLANDS TUESDAY. A FAVORED  
COMPOSITE OF MODEL AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SEEMS TO OFFER A GOOD  
FORECAST BASIS AMID GROWING FORECAST SPREAD OVER TIME FOR  
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS FEATURE. THIS FRONT SHOULD FOCUS MOISTURE AND  
AN AXIS OF PRECIPITATION WITH PASSAGE TO AGAIN LIKELY FOCUS ON  
WINDWARD AREAS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE NORTH OF THE STATE  
IN THE WAKE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD REJUVENATE TRADES THROUGH  
MID-LATE WEEK IN A PATTERN WITH DECREASING MOISTURE AVAILABILITY.  
THERE IS A NOW A STRONGER THAN AVERAGE LONGER RANGE SIGNAL  
SUPPORTING THE DIGGING OF AN AMPLIFIED UPPER TROUGH AND LEAD COLD  
FRONT/DEEPENING SURFACE LOW FROM THE NORTHWEST OF THE ISLANDS NEXT  
WEEKEND. THIS APPROACH WOULD ACT TO DISRUPT ISLAND ISLAND TRADES  
AND OFFERS POTENTIAL FOR LEAD DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP LAYERED AND  
MOIST SOUTHERLY INFLOW TO SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE TO FUEL  
ENHANCED SHOWER ACTIVITY.
