Looking Ahead
Moist and unstable conditions will prevail over the state today through Monday, as a strong upper level trough approaches from the west and a weak surface trough currently near Oahu drifts westward. The threat of flooding rainfall and thunderstorms will continue. A more stable east to southeast flow pattern is forecast to develop by Tuesday and continue through midweek, although somewhat wet conditions will persist. Another upper trough developing west of the state could bring more wet and unstable weather to the islands toward the end of the week.
