Synopsis
Surface troughing will set up over the central and eastern islands through mid week, while a strong upper level trough approaches from the west. This will lead to increasing showers across the state on Monday, with locally heavy rainfall and thunderstorms possible across the central and eastern islands Monday night through Wednesday night. A cooler and drier airmass will overspread the state Thursday through Friday, with fewer showers. A reinforcing cold front will then move down the island chain Friday night and Saturday bringing a band of showers with it. Trade winds are then expected to return next Sunday, with showers favoring windward and mauka areas.
