Another day of moderate to breezy trades is forecast Thursday with
a surface ridge of high pressure to the north of the state. The
pattern should be generally dry but any showers that do form will
favor windward/mauka areas. Winds are forecast to gradually veer
Friday into Saturday in response to a front stalling northwest of
Hawaii. Overall these southerly mean winds should be weaker and
would allow land/sea breezes to set up with mostly fair weather.
This pattern is expected to last through the weekend.

Southerly wind speeds may increase by Monday in the western
islands and Tuesday for most areas, ahead of another cold front.
This front has a better chance to reach the western islands around
midweek, supported by a trough aloft. These features could
increase rain chances especially as moisture pools along the
front. Model guidance varies with rainfall totals but none show
hazardous heavy rain at this time.
