Looking Ahead
A drying trend with moderate to breezy trades returning is expected through Saturday as a weak trough of low pressure north of Kauai continues westward. Clouds and showers will favor the typical windward and mauka locations through Saturday night. Warm and muggy conditions are forecast to return later in the weekend through early next week as low pressure forms west of the state. Light to moderate southerly winds and plenty of tropical moisture lifting northward will translate to increasing rain chances Sunday night through Wednesday.
