Deeper tropical moisture from post-tropical cyclone Fernanda is expected to move over the islands late Sunday through Tuesday. Expect humid conditions and a higher chance for showers, especially for the islands of Hawaii and Maui, with a chance of locally heavy rain for windward slopes of those islands, especially the time period from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.

The National Hurricane Center is also tracking Hurricane Hilary off the Pacific coast of Mexico. It is forecast to move to the north-northwest, and is a threat to Baja California. It also could bring heavy rain to the southwest continental U.S.
