Looking Ahead
Trade winds are forecast through next week. Locally strong trades will ease slightly over the weekend. Rainfall will also decrease over the next couple of days as moisture and instability decrease. Showers may become more active again next week as the atmosphere becomes less stable and remnants of an old front may ride in on the trades.
Today & Sunday
Partly sunny with scattered showers today. Haze is expected for the leeward side with mostly sunny skies and clouds building in the afternoon. Winds are from 15 to 25 mph out of the northeast. High temperatures from 81° to 87°. Sunday winds drop a notch to 10 to 20 mph.
