.SYNOPSIS...CONTINUED HUMID AND OCCASIONALLY WET FOR MAINLY KAUAI
 AND OAHU TODAY. RETURN OF MUCH BETTER TRADE WIND WEATHER TOMORROW
 STATEWIDE.

.DISCUSSION...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR HUMID
 INCLEMENT WEATHER SINCE YESTERDAY LOOKS LIKE IT IS MAKING A
 MOVE AWAY FROM THE ISLANDS. THE UPPER LOW...DEEP ENOUGH TO
 PRODUCE AN INVERTED TROUGH DOWN AT THE SURFACE AND SOUTHEASTERLY
 WINDS LOCALLY...ALSO APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING. WEVE ALSO GOT THE
 FIRST HARBINGERS OF IMPROVING WEATHER...NICELY RISING SURFACE
 PRESSURES. THE CURRENT WET WEATHER IS FOCUSED ON KAUAI AND
 OAHU WHO ARE CLOSER TO THE UPPER LOW...OTHER ISLANDS ARE EXPECTED
 TO HAVE ONLY SPOTTY AFTERNOON CONVECTION TODAY AS INCREASINGLY
 DRIER AND STABLE RIDGING ALOFT NUDGES IN FROM THE EAST. THE UPPER
 RIDGE SHOULD REPLACE THE UPPER LOWS INFLUENCE AND ALLOW NORMAL
 TRADE WINDS TO RETURN TOMORROW AND EVEN DRIER AND BREEZIER ONES
 THURSDAY. A FEW TRADE WIND SHOWERS...MUCH LIGHTER THAN THE
 CURRENT ONES...SHOULD RETURN DURING THE WEEKEND.
