Breezy winds, enhanced showers, rain expected ahead

PUKALANI, Maui (KITV4) - According to the National Weather Service in Honolulu, a high pressure system far north of Kauai will slowly drift east over the next two days, keeping moderate to breezy trade winds in the forecast through much of next week.

A disturbance passing through the islands today will enhance cloud and shower activity for all islands. Drier and more stable conditions with breezy to locally windy trade winds are forecast for Sunday.

Passing trade wind showers will continue through Tuesday night. Deep and unstable tropical moisture from the remnants of Bonnie will drift into the region from east to west on Wednesday and Thursday, boosting rainfall coverage across the state.

Today winds are expected out of the east from 15 to 25 mph.

Temperatures are forecast to peak in the mid to upper 80's.

Surfwise, a series of south swells are expected to begin filling in Sunday. Bonnie generated an east swell which we expect early next week.

Small surf today, more on the way
