Generally light winds are expected over Hawaii over the next
several days, driven by land and sea breezes underneath mean light
northerly flow, as typical trade winds do not set up given
westerly flow aloft and the lack of a strong surface high to the
north. This pattern could bring localized showers to favored sea
breeze areas, but overall conditions should be mostly dry over the
next few days without much available moisture. A front currently
approaching the western islands is forecast to dissipate as it
passes over parts of the state, which could locally increase cloud
cover and moisture, but not cause much rainfall given the broad
ridging aloft. Another front next week could again drive somewhat
more clouds and moisture to develop around Monday-Tuesday, behind
which dewpoints should temporarily dry out somewhat, and then yet
another front may approach around Wednesday-Thursday. But the best
chance for increasing moisture and widespread rainfall is not
until next weekend.
