Mild trade winds for Sunday, but wetter weather ahead

Mild trade winds for Sunday, but wetter weather ahead

Mild to moderate trade winds will bring showers, especially in the windward and mauka areas. The trade winds are expected to strengthen Sunday night and Monday before easing again on Tuesday.

We have an initial warning Monday through Tuesday for the chance of locally heavy rain and a few thunderstorms, mainly on the eastern side of the state, while a trough passes south of the state sending some deep moisture towards the islands.

Another First Alert, this one for the rest of the coming week. The forecast models have a front approaching from the northwest and lingering either over or just north of the islands, which could bring an extended period of wet trade wind weather. Details are still uncertain at this time, but we will keep you informed.
