Looking Ahead

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD

Breezy trade winds are expected to continue into next week. Clouds and showers will be focused over the windward coasts and slopes, however the trades will be strong enough to carry a few showers over to leeward areas. Meanwhile, daytime heating will cause clouds and showers to develop over the Kona slopes each afternoon and evening. Increased moisture may move over the islands from the southeast late this weekend and early next week.

Today

We expect partly to mostly cloudy skies for windward Big Island with showers likely in the morning and scattered showers in the during the day. The Kona side will be partly cloudy to start and mostly cloudy with isolated showers each afternoon. High temperatures from 84° to 89°. Northeast winds from 15 to 25 mph.
