VALID 00Z WED MAR 27 2024 - 00Z WED APR 03 2024
TRADE WINDS LOOK TO STAY AROUND MODERATE LEVELS ON TUESDAY AND
PERHAPS ALLOW FOR A HYBRID TRADE AND LAND/SEA BREEZE WIND PATTERN.
MEANWHILE ALOFT, A CLOSED LOW CENTERED SOUTH OF THE STATE SHOULD
DRIFT A BIT NORTH AND JOIN UP WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM FLOW OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WEAK TROUGHING ALOFT SHOULD LEAD TO
DECREASING STABILITY AND PERHAPS ALLOW FOR INCREASING SHOWERS.
HOWEVER, THIS ONLY SEEMS TO PRODUCE MINOR IF ANY INCREASES IN
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE. THIS WEAK UPPER
TROUGHING LOOKS TO PERSIST INTO LATE WEEK, WHILE AT THE SURFACE
ANOTHER REASONABLY STRONG HIGH TRACKS EAST AND SETS UP TO THE
NORTH, HELPING TO STRENGTHEN WINDS BACK TO BREEZY LEVELS. THIS
GENERAL PATTERN IS LIKELY TO PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND. BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK, AN UPPER TROUGH NORTH OF HAWAII PUSHING A SURFACE FRONT
COULD HELP DRAW MOISTURE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE STATE AND INCREASE
SHOWER POTENTIAL.
