A surface ridge will remain nearly stationary north of the area and maintain trade winds over the islands. A surface trough moving over the area from the southeast will bring showery weather and lighter winds through the middle of the coming week. Winds will strengthen as the surface trough moves west but a trough aloft and lingering tropical moisture will keep showers active through the second half of the week.

Tropical Storm Lester continues to move away from the Hawaiian Islands, taking away most of the heavy weather with it. Its departure has left us with one more feature that all islands will be dealing with for the next 24 hours, and that is a band of weather that includes isolated thunderstorms. The last of this band will clear Kauai by Monday afternoon. A stable air mass will fill in behind with a trade wind flow and persist through the rest of the new week.
