Sunday
Partly cloudy skies are expected with scattered showers for windward locations and isolated afternoon leeward showers. Hazy skies are expected for the Kona side. Winds are forecasted out of the east around 15 mph. High temperatures from 81° to 86° and low temperatures from 67° to 72°.
Looking Ahead
A front is approaching from the northwest. Locally breezy southeast winds ahead of the front will focus showers over southeast areas of the islands and carry volcanic haze north toward the other islands. There will also be afternoon clouds and showers over interior areas Saturday afternoon. A band of showers along the front is expected to reach Kauai Saturday evening, then stall and weaken over the central islands by Sunday night. Behind the front, breezy trade winds and showery weather is expected for windward areas through much of next week.
