Our long lived ridge aloft keeps us dry for another couple of days (1st chart). The ridge weakens and exits to the east as a jet trough amplifies to our west next week (2nd chart).
Colder air aloft and moist convergent low level flow combine to bring active weather next week. The southeast flow will favor areas from Hilo to Kau, but all areas should get some showers.
