Overnight rains that drenched windward O'ahu declined this morning, prompting the weather service to cancel an urban and small stream advisory for Honolulu county.

"Right now we are in sort of a lull in the action," meteorologist Bob Ballard said this morning. "We have a weak upper ridge over the Hawaiian islands and that is helping to keep things relatively quiet now. We will get a chance to dry out a little bit before things turn wetter later in the weekend."

High clouds — those milky smears on a blue-sky day — will increase as early as this afternoon and continue through tomorrow, Ballard said.

The winds will also shift during this period from drier, northeasterly winds to southeast winds, which will bring more moisture over the state sometime Sunday, he said.

"It's tough to say exactly how much or where that will set up," he said. "We do think it will be cloudier and wetter again, but who gets the lion's share of that, we will have to wait until it's a little closer."

Thundershowers like those seen earlier this week are not currently in the forecast, Ballard said.

But he's not ruling them out, either.

High temperatures in the 70s are forecast through the weekend.
