HONOLULU (KHON2) - As a weak cold front inches closer and stalls northwest of the state into Tuesday, local winds will remain light out of the south over the eastern half of the island chain, while winds increase and shift more southwesterly over the western half. Localized land and sea breezes will continue during this period for the portions of Maui County and the Big Island that are more sheltered from south flow, allowing for limited cloud and shower development over leeward and interior areas during the day, then clearing offshore at night. Gradually increasing moisture being pulled up from the south and the potential for low-level convergence bands setting up ahead of the front will allow periods of mainly light showers embedded in the southwesterly flow to move into leeward areas of Kauai, Oahu, and western portions of Maui County at times. An upper-level trough will deepen and dive down across the central Pacific over the next few days, helping to push the stalled front through the western third of the island chain by the middle of next week. The latest global model runs continue show the front reaching Kauai Tuesday evening then slowly moving into Oahu on Wednesday, before stalling again and dissipating. This front will bring some beneficial rain to the majority of the island chain, along with breezy north-northeasterly winds for the western half of the state. The vog plume is expected to shift further east away from Oahu and more over Maui County and portions of the Big Island and lessen toward mid-week as the winds increase and become more southwesterly.
