More widespread haze is expected today with our variable wind conditions. Winds are expected up to 15 mph. Mostly clear skies are forecasted in the morning with partly to mostly cloudy conditions in the afternoon as the sea breeze kicks in contributes to local convection. We could see some scattered showers in the afternoon as well. High temperatures should fall in the range of 80° to 85° and around 70° at 5000 feet.

Looking Ahead
The trade winds are expected to remain light and variable through tomorrow. This will allow for local land and sea breezes to develop during that time. Afternoon interior and leeward showers are possible with the sea breezes, but rainfall accumulations should remain light. Winds are forecasted to increase Wednesday and Thursday as a front moves across the islands. A second stronger front expected next weekend will bring strong and gusty winds in its wake.
