Looking Ahead
Surface high pressure building far north-northwest of the area will cause the trade winds to strengthen across the islands through early next week. An upper-level trough passing near the state may cause increasing instability and wetter conditions as moisture associated with a weakening frontal band moves down across the area through this weekend. The frontal band is expected to push south of the Big Island Sunday night. The trailing end of another front may reach the islands around the middle of next week.
