High pressure to our north is forecast to maintain easterly trade winds over us through the upcoming weekend week (surface chart).
A ridge overhead supports descending air for dry and stable conditions Tuesday through Thursday (1st 500mb chart).
A trough deepens over us beginning Friday (2nd 500mb chart) bringing deeper moisture and cold air aloft for thicker clouds and the risk of heavy rain favoring the windward side of our island.
