Looking Ahead

A very moist air mass left over from Hilda will continue to encourage unsettled weather across most of the state, and especially the Big Island, into the weekend. The areas affected should shrink with time. Trade winds will persist through this time. By early next week, a trough will bring an even moister air mass, and light winds.
