**Click directly on the images below to make them larger. Charts include: Hawaii Island high/low forecasted temperatures, projected winds, projected localized weather conditions and expected wave heights.**
Looking Ahead
Moderate to breezy trade winds will steadily trend down today through tonight as the strong ridge that has been in place to the north weakens in response to a front approaching. The best chance for showers today through tonight will remain over the eastern end of the state due to an upper trough and a better source of moisture lifting northward into the area. Friday through the weekend, winds are forecast to become light and variable, which will result in land and sea breeze conditions each day. The best chance for clouds and showers through this period will remain over interior areas through the afternoons and early evenings. A front is expected to move over the islands next week and bring widespread rain starting Tuesday night.
