Looking Ahead
A weak front will bring a slight boost to showers as it passes over the state late in the day Thursday into Friday mainly for south and west facing shores because of the wind direction. Weak trade winds are expected to bring primarily windward and mauka showers to Maui and the Big Island this weekend as the winds swing around and push the moisture back over the eastern part of the state. A stronger front is forecasted to pass over the state Monday evening through Tuesday night followed by another frontal passage Wednesday night into Thursday.
