Looking Ahead
Trade winds are expected to deliver a band of showers to windward areas early Thursday, with a few showers drifting to leeward areas. Northeast trade winds are expected to strengthen over the weekend. An area of instability near the islands will act to focus clouds and showers over the islands, and a trend toward wetter weather can be expected into next week as the island atmosphere becomes increasingly unstable.
