Generally weak winds are expected to lead to a continued land and
sea breeze pattern through another day or so. Showers are likely
to develop especially over the Big Island and in Kauai where sea
breezes form convergence over the islands, as an overall moist
airmass remains in place along with troughing aloft and at the
surface, other than a drier air pocket over the central part of
the state. Some localized heavy downpours may be possible as well
as a couple thunderstorms over the Big Island. By late this week,
the surface pattern looks favorable for more typical easterly
winds to form by later in the week with a surface high to the
north. A weak cold front ahead of the high still looks to cross
into Kauai late Friday into Saturday before stalling and
weakening. This may locally enhance showers especially in windward
and mauka areas as a moist pattern remains. By early to mid-next
week, trade winds look to stay quite breezy to strong, with a
gradual trend down in the available moisture.
