A small and weak mid-level low is traversing our island today from east to west. This afternoon the low will be to our west, placing us in moist southerly flow aloft (700mb loop). At the surface winds continue to be mostly from the east or southeast. The combination of moisture and favorable low level wind direction will likely make for a rainy afternoon and evening... maybe into early Tuesday. The low fizzles out Tuesday allowing our atmosphere to dry out.
In the far northern Pacific a front is moving from west to east and will disrupt our trade winds late Tuesday through Thursday. High pressure rebuilds to our northeast as we head into the weekend (surface loop) as we're forecast to begin a long period of more typical trade wind weather with showers mostly during the night and early morning hours.
