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