Looking Ahead
Fresh to locally breezy trade winds are expected to stay in place through Saturday with clouds and showers favoring our usual windward and mauka spots. Remnant moisture from former Tropical Cyclone Howard will move through over the weekend into early next week, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms Saturday night through Monday. A Flood Watch goes into effect later this weekend. Trade wind weather should return Tuesday and Wednesday.
