Hazy skies are expected for the west side of the Big Island in the afternoon (see UHSOEST vog model above). High temperatures should fall in the range of 82° to 87°.

Looking Ahead
Light and variable wind conditions will return by Monday night, while light trades continue elsewhere. All islands are expected to be under southerly wind flow by Thursday as a front approaches the island from the west. The front is slated to reach Kauai early Friday morning and move down the island chain all day Friday, reaching the Big Island early Saturday morning. Cooler drier weather may move in behind the front.
