Moderate to locally breezy trade winds will continue through Saturday, caused by high pressure northeast of the islands. Windward and mountain areas will have some clouds and passing showers, mainly at night and in the early morning. Satellite and radar show small moisture areas moving in the trade winds, with no major weather systems expected. Winds may become lighter after the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
Moderate to occasionally breezy trade winds are expected to continue for the next few days. The National Weather Service has issued AIRMET Sierra and Tango for mountain obscuration and low-level turbulence. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through Friday afternoon for waters around Maui County and the Big Island due to moderate to strong trade winds. Surf along south-facing shores will see a slight decrease in a south swell, followed by incoming swells that will maintain typical summer wave heights.
Fire weather conditions remain near seasonal averages with moderate to occasionally gusty trade winds and typical relative humidity levels. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for Maalaea Bay, Big Island Leeward Waters, and nearby areas, as reported by the National Weather Service.
