Looking Ahead

Winds will gradually weaken through Tuesday as a cold front slowly approaches from the west. The front is forecast to stall late in the day Tuesday, but a weak trough will track from east to west across the island chain Tuesday night through Thursday brining an increase in clouds and showers. The trough is expected to merge with the stalled front near Kauai Thursday through the weekend bringing unsettled weather.
