Looking Ahead
The cloudy and wet pattern will continue across the state into the second half of the work week as low pressure lifts northward passing Kauai and Niihau to the west tonight through Thursday. Breezy trades will weaken and shift out of the southeast by Thursday, likely giving way to overnight land breezes and afternoon sea breezes over the smaller islands Friday through the upcoming weekend. Clouds and showers will focus over interior areas through the weekend, mainly through the afternoon hours. Another wet period is possible next week as a cold front approaches and moves into the area from the west and southerly winds strengthen.
