Looking Ahead

Breezy trades will continue to focus clouds and showers over windward areas through the day today, especially over the eastern end of the state. Trades are forecast to weaken Thursday through Friday, which should give way to light and variable winds over the smaller islands and allow some vog from the Big Island to begin pooling northward by Friday. The light winds may allow afternoon showers to develop over leeward areas. A gradual drying trend is anticipated over the weekend and into early next week with a return of a more typical trade wind pattern.
