HIGH PRESSURE CENTER AT THE SURFACE WILL PUSH THIS COLD FRONT  
ACROSS THE STATE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ON

IT. BEHIND THE FRONT, DRIER DEWPOINTS ARE FORECAST WHILE  
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL BE RATHER STRONG. BREEZY NORTHEASTERLY

MAGNITUDE INTO THE WEEKEND WHILE VEERING A BIT TO A MORE EASTERLY  
DIRECTION. WINDWARD AND MAUKA SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE, THOUGH MAY BE  
ISOLATED GIVEN THE BELOW NORMAL MOISTURE IN PLACE. MORE TYPICAL  
TRADES AND MOISTURE LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
