A slight chance of thunderstorms is forecast for the Big Island and leeward Haleakala slopes in the afternoon today and Sunday. Drier and more settled weather is expected to return across the islands Monday and Tuesday, followed by the potential for an increase in rainfall over parts of the island chain around the middle of next week.
