HONOLULU (KHON2) – The upper-level subtropical ridge axis will linger just south of the state through Wednesday keeping these stable conditions in the forecast to go along with the light winds.
Therefore, expect clouds and a few light showers to develop by late morning/afternoon over island mountain and interior sections each day as the sea breezes kick in, followed by clearing in the overnight hours with the land breezes.
Rainfall amounts will remain on the lighter side due to the large-scale atmospheric stability and dry air in place.
By Thursday, long-range model guidance continues to show a shallow cold front creeping into the western islands from the northwest.
Widespread showers and breezy trade winds will develop along the weakening frontal boundary as it passes through each island.
The latest guidance continues to show this frontal cloud and shower band stalling out near Maui by Friday morning.
All islands will benefit from a period of enhanced showers with this feature, especially along the windward and mountain slopes.
