Looking Ahead
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD
A weak front will drift slowly east through Saturday, disrupting the trade wind flow and acting as a focus for enhanced showers across the central and eastern parts of the state. An upper level trough lingering over the state will maintain a chance of locally heavy showers near the front, mainly during the afternoon hours as sea breezes drive convection. Drier weather will prevail across the western part of the state. Trade winds will rebuild on Sunday and continue into next week, with wet conditions developing across windward and mauka areas.
