Looking Ahead

Trade winds are forecast to be strong and gusty into the holiday weekend. Low clouds and showers are expected for our usual windward and mauka spots with some showers passing into leeward areas from time to time. Showers could be especially active Wednesday night and Thanksgiving day as disturbance passes overhead. High clouds will also move across the islands over the next couple of days, adding to the cloudiness. Trade winds are expected to ease late in the weekend, with fewer showers expected.
