Showers were reported near Oahu early Monday, mainly in windward areas; Honolulu is forecast to have mostly sunny skies and a high near 84 degrees. Trade winds will remain noticeable through the day, then ease briefly before strengthening again midweek.
Sunny Monday, Cloudier Tonight
The National Weather Service expects east-northeast winds of 15 to 18 mph Monday, with gusts up to 25 mph. Showers may increase slightly tonight.
Stronger Trade Winds Return Wednesday
Tuesday should stay partly sunny with another high near 84. Breezy to locally windy trade winds are expected statewide Wednesday and through Thursday.
Showers Favor Windward And Mountain Areas
Rain chances remain low in Honolulu overall, though brief showers may move into windward neighborhoods and mauka slopes before spilling toward leeward areas. Forecasters expect a slight increase in windward showers from Wednesday night into Thursday as a band of moisture moves across the islands.
Boaters And Surfers Should Watch The Water
A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through 6 p.m. Monday for several Oahu waters, including windward and leeward waters and Kaiwi Channel. Surf along north- and west-facing shores will stay elevated through Tuesday, while a larger northwest swell could produce warning-level surf on exposed shores Wednesday night.
