Breezy tradewinds continue today and they have brought in a patch of clouds and showers that is moistening windward and mauka areas in Maui County and on the Big Island. Those areas should dry out later this morning and like Oahu and Kauai, see quite a bit of sunshine on this Aloha Friday. About 100 miles north of the islands a east-west oriented band of showers is headed our way. That will moisten our tradewinds late tonight and into Saturday. The raindrops will fall mainly on windward and mauka areas. The atmosphere aloft is pretty stable so only a few of those showers will make their way to leeward areas. The tradewinds should stay with us until mid-week when an upper level trough will dig down to the surface turning our trades E/SE. That will bring moist, muggy air up the island chain. A trough creates an upstable atmosphere and combined with the moist air, it won't take much to trigger some heavy showers. Timing of the trough and showers is still a little uncertain. Best guesses are saying Wednesday or Thursday. Tune in to Hawaii News Now through the weekend for the very latest weather news. Waves all around for your Aloha Friday. The forecast calls for North 4-6, West 2-4, South 2-4 and East 2-4. Have fun!
