HONOLULU (KHON2) - Moderate to locally breezy trade winds will remain in the forecast through tonight, before gradually diminishing during the first half of the week due to a weak front passing north of the state, weakening the high to our northeast. Clouds and showers will remain focused along windward and mauka regions. The eastern half of the state will still have a good chance for enhanced tradewind showers as the upper low slowly weakens and shifts northeastward tonight through Monday. Mid-level ridging will build over the state as the upper low exits the area to the east, creating a drier and more stable tradewind weather pattern by Tuesday. A strong cold front approaching the state midweek will cause the winds to shift out of the southeast and weaken on Wednesday, becoming light and variable Wednesday night through much of Thursday. This will allow for sea and land breezes to develop, with showers favoring island interiors each afternoon. The front is expected to quickly sweep across the state during the second half the next week. Depending on the strength and progression of the cold front through the islands Thursday night and Friday, we could see more widespread rain affect the islands, with some heavier showers and even a few thunderstorms not out of the question. In the wake of the front, we will transition back into a typical trade wind regime through next weekend.
