Looking Ahead
Remnant moisture from the old front will be drawn back northwest across the state Sunday through Monday as another front stalls several hundred miles northwest of Kauai. Showers will be most likely over windward areas, but at least isolated showers could affect leeward areas as well. Drier trade wind weather is expected during the middle of next week. A front slowly approaching from the northwest and tropical moisture approaching from the southeast may bring unsettled weather to the state by late next week.
