Looking Ahead
Dry and stable conditions with moderate to breezy trades will hold today. This will limit shower coverage with the best chances remaining over windward and mauka areas through the early morning hours. Trades are expected to trend down and become light over portions of the state tonight through Thursday as a weak trough of low pressure approaches and moves through the region. Warm and muggy conditions will be likely Wednesday due to light winds and increasing moisture, which should translate to increasing rainfall chances by Wednesday night. A drying trend with breezy trades returning are expected late Thursday into the weekend.
