Forecast: Stronger winds coming back soon after Labor Day weekend

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Gentle to moderate trade winds will hold in place tonight through Tuesday. Showers will favor windward slopes and coasts during the overnight and early morning hours, with a few showers developing over leeward and interior areas each afternoon. Moderate trades and more typical windward and mauka showers will return late Tuesday and continue through next weekend.

A series of small long period south swells will maintain surf heights near seasonal averages over the next few days along south facing shores, then gradually decline as we approach the middle of the week. Surf heights along northeast and east facing shores will trend lower over the next few days as the trade wind speeds decrease. No significant swells are expected through the forecast period.
