...A wetter pattern for the islands...

Models and ensembles generally agree that moist lead southerly
winds will feed into the islands over the next couple of days with
frontal approach and stalling as an amplified upper trough slowly
passes to mainly to the north of the state. Expect enhanced rain
chances over the state as moisture pools within a well defined and
slow moving deep plume to fuel local activity. Trades return later
week as high pressure bridges to the north of the islands in an
expected transition to a more windward terrain focusing rainfall
pattern with lingering pooled moisture. Trades may slacken a bit
by the weekend as emerging troughing aloft keeps the weather
unsettled over/just east of the islands.
