Looking Ahead
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD
Locally breezy trade winds are expected through the weekend. The trades will push clouds and some showers over windward areas, but stable conditions are forecast so rainfall amounts will be light. Winds will weaken and shift out of the south next week as a front approaches from the northwest. Shower activity will increase as the atmosphere become more moist and unstable.
Today
Today we expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers for windward and mauka spots. Mostly cloudy in leeward spots in the afternoon. Mostly clear in the morning. Northeast winds are forecast from 15 to 20 mph. High temperatures from 79° to 84°.
