A typical trade wind shower pattern is expected today with windward and mauka areas being the primary targets. Deep moisture will increase as an old front sags southward into the islands tonight through Friday, while an upper level trough passes overhead. Shower activity will increase, particularly from Oahu eastward to the Big Island, with locally heavy rainfall and thunderstorms possible late tonight through Friday morning. Drier and more stable weather is expected this weekend through early next week, with a more typical windward and mauka shower regime.
