Looking Ahead

We are transitioning from trade wind weather to light and variable winds today. Sunday muggy, hot conditions are expected. A moist southerly wind flow is forecast to take over on Monday ahead of an approaching cold front that is forecast to moved down the island chain from Monday evening through Wednesday. A drier, cooler northerly wind flow is forecast to settle over the islands after that and last for a few days.
