Looking Ahead

Moderate to locally strong trade winds are expected through next weekend, bringing periods of clouds and showers to the islands. A different batch of moisture is expected to move over windward Big Island tonight through Wednesday, keeping conditions wet. Although showers will tend to favor windward areas, the winds will be strong enough to push them to leeward areas at times, while daytime heating will trigger afternoon showers over the Big Island leeward slopes and coast. Another increase in showers is possible this weekend as an upper level disturbance moves toward the islands from the northeast.
Today
Today we expect mostly cloudy skies for windward Big Island in the morning with occasional showers and fewer clouds and showers in the afternoon. The Kona side will be clear to start and mostly cloudy with showers likely each afternoon and evening. High temperatures from 85° to 90°. Northeast winds are expected from 10 to 20 mph.
