Rainy Outlook for Hawaii as Cold Front Approaches; Rain May Intensify Over Leeward Slopes

HONOLULU, HI — A cold front is expected to bring increased rainfall chances to Honolulu and surrounding areas later today, with moderate south to southeast winds through the week, according to the National Weather Service Honolulu office. According to the Honolulu Weather Forecast Office, light winds and dry conditions have dominated the state, but this will change as the front nears, according to the National Weather Service Honolulu office.

Showers will favor windward coastal regions, and rainfall may intensify over leeward slopes and western mountain areas, according to the National Weather Service Honolulu office. The front is expected to stall north of Kauai, limiting rainfall amounts.

Drier conditions and light trades could return by the weekend, with another weak cold front potentially increasing rain chances by next week, according to the National Weather Service Honolulu office.
