Looking Ahead
Breezy trades will hold today, then begin to weaken and shift out of the south and southwest Thursday through Friday as a cold front approaches and moves into the area from the northwest. Increasing moisture combined with a sufficient amount of instability and light winds ahead of this front will translate to warm and muggy conditions with increasing rain chances late Thursday through Saturday. A few thunderstorms can’t be ruled out along and ahead of the front, especially over the northwest islands Thursday night into Friday. A gradual drying trend from west to east with a return of moderate to breezy trades are expected by the end of the weekend and early next week as high pressure builds north of state.
