Looking Ahead
We are transitioning from trade wind weather to light and variable winds today. Sunday muggy, hot conditions are expected.

A drier, cooler northerly wind flow is forecast to settle over the islands after that and last for a few days.

Temperatures up to 83° to 88°. Sunday, winds will become southerly up to 15 mph with muggier conditions expected and scattered showers. Showers are likely for windward spots with scattered leeward showers.
