Looking Ahead
A weakening front has pushed through the island chain and leaves cool, crisp, dry conditions in its wake. Winds will veer out of the northeast today and locally breezy trade winds will stick around through the work week. An increase in showers is expected toward the end of the work week when we get back to more typical trade wind weather.
