HONOLULU (KHON2) – A hybrid trade wind/sea breeze pattern is expected on Monday with light to moderate east to southeast winds across the state.
Sea breezes are expected to develop by mid day with afternoon clouds and a few light showers developing over interior and leeward areas.
As the front passes northeast of the area on Tuesday, a high building north of the area will produce a light northerly flow Tuesday morning becoming more northeast throughout the day.
Moderate northeast trades are expected by Tuesday afternoon with some isolated windward and mauka showers.
Rainfall amounts with any showers will continue to remain light due to stable conditions aloft.
Starting Wednesday, a stronger front will approach the state and will cause the winds to veer toward the south.
With light to moderate southerly winds in place, passing showers will be on the increase especially over the western half of the state.
Stable conditions aloft will continue to limit rainfall intensity, but with the increase of some low level moisture, we could see some brief moderate showers Thursday through Friday.
In summary, stable conditions will continue the second half of the week, but with the winds out of the south, we should see warmer weather (higher humidities) with an uptick of showers especially the western half of the state.
