Looking Ahead
A weak surface trough just north of Kauai will move slowly westward through tonight, which will keep winds light across the state. This will allow local afternoon sea breezes and nighttime land breezes to develop. Showers will continue over windward Maui and the Big Island this morning. Clouds and showers are expected to develop over interior and mauka sections of the state this afternoon as the sea breezes become established. Trade winds will return by Friday, and will persist through this weekend. An area of low pressure is expected to develop northwest of the islands early next week, which will produce light southeasterly winds. Rain chances may also increase over the western end of the island chain by the middle of next week.
