HONOLULU (KHON2) – High pressure will build northeast of the state tonight into Sunday, keeping cool and windy weather in place.
The airmass will gradually moisten up tonight and Sunday, bringing a return of trade showers.
The remnants of an old front will further increase showery weather along windward areas Sunday night into Monday and send more showers into leeward communities as well.
Breezy to locally windy trades are expected Monday afternoon through Wednesday, before easing off for the tail end of the work week.
Showers will continue to favor windward slopes and coasts.
The strong high will continue to strengthen as it shifts far northeast of the state tonight into Sunday.
Winds will respond by veering out of a more typical east- northeasterly direction while maintaining statewide windy conditions.
The Wind Advisory appears to be handling the current observations well, and remains posted for the entire entire island chain through 6 PM Sunday.
This advisory may need to be extended for some of the typical windy areas around Maui County and the Big Island Monday and Tuesday as the high slowly settles southward well northeast of the state.
