Looking Ahead

A mostly dry and pleasant weather pattern can be expected over the next several days thanks to high pressure far north of the area. Clouds and a few passing showers can be expected over windward and mauka areas with most leeward locations remaining dry. Moderate trade wind can be expected through Friday night with winds becoming a bit lighter over the weekend and on into early next week.
