Looking Ahead
Trade winds can be expected over the next couple of day. Clouds and passing showers will favor windward and mauka areas during that time. Trade winds are forecast to strengthen a bit midweek. Toward the second half of the week another front is expected to approach the islands from the northwest. This will result in a decrease in trade winds.
