Looking Ahead
Trade winds are expected to become gusty later in the week. Breezy conditions should then last through the much of the holiday weekend. A disturbance will bring instability that may lead to an increase in trade wind showers, some which may be briefly heavy. As the disturbance moves away, a dry and stable air mass will move over the islands from Thursday into Saturday. Trade wind showers may increase again statewide on Sunday and Monday.

Partly to mostly cloudy with scattered showers today for windward spots. Mostly sunny skies in the morning for the Kona side with mostly cloudy skies in the afternoon and scattered showers.
