Monday moderate to breezy easaterly trade winds and less humid with widely scattered showers.
A broad ridge to our north will maintain moderate, and sometimes breezy, trade winds over us for the foreseeable future. A band of tropical moisture, with its leading edge currently near 143W, is being carried towards us by the low level trade flow and will arrive Thursday bringing humid conditions and the threat of heavy rain.
Drier air filters in Monday through Wednesday of next week for a few days of drier and less humid weather, possibly followed by a return of warm and humid with rain next Thursday.
We have two potential tropical lows to our southeast.
Low 130W is already showing signs of a low level circulation. The NHC gives this feature a 50% chance of becoming a tropical low over the next week as it heads west staying well south of our island.
Low 140W is shown to briefly develop as it heads west-northwest. Along this path the low encounters high shear and mid-level dry air degrading it to a remnant well before reaching us. Tropical moisture associated with Low 140W is forecast to track over our island in 7-10 days bringing another round of wet weather.
