Most windward slopes will have stable and mostly dry conditions with light showers, while Kauai is expected to have a higher chance of rain tonight and tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect through Wednesday afternoon for higher elevations on the Big Island due to strong westerly winds. Trade winds on the water will stay gentle to moderate before increasing over the weekend as a surface high pressure builds northeast of the state. Conditions are expected to be mostly VFR with a drier trade wind pattern. The National Weather Service reports, "Overnight, and across some interior locations through the afternoons where sea breezes form. An upper-level disturbance near the western end of the state." Clear skies and favorable weather conditions are expected.
Surf heights will be mostly low until Wednesday, with a slight increase on northern and western shores due to moderate swells. A north-northwest swell is expected early Saturday morning, increasing surf temporarily before decreasing by the end of the weekend. A south swell will affect south-facing shores starting on Wednesday afternoon, peaking Friday, and then gradually decreasing. The week will have fair winds and clear skies, with some showers mainly on Kauai. No major changes in the weather are forecasted, as stated by the National Weather Service.
