HONOLULU (KHON2) -- A patch of clouds just east of the islands is drifting in on the trade winds tonight. This patch of clouds will likely keep passing showers in the forecast for windward and mountain areas through the overnight to early morning hours. Drier conditions are forecast from tomorrow afternoon onward. High pressure north of the Hawaiian Islands will keep moderate trade winds in the forecast through the first half of next week. Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Thursday for windier area around Maui and the Big Island. Peak high tides associated with the new moon combined with water levels that are running higher than predicted will lead to minor flooding along the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas. Coastal flooding is possible around the daily peak tide, which will be during the afternoon hours.
