At 6 a.m., the relative humidity at Honolulu International Airport was already 82 percent.

But hang on, the National Weather Service forecast calls for a change to occur when a cold front approaches Kaua'i late tomorrow.

The winds will become more southerly and showers will increase ahead of the front, which is expected to slide down the rest of the island chain by Sunday and stall out by Sunday evening.

Moisture from a disturbance far southwest of Kaua'i could move toward the islands late Sunday night or early Monday morning.

Here's a more detailed look at what the next few days are expected to bring:

Today, partly cloudy with isolated showers. Haze. Highs 80 to 86. East winds around 10 mph shifting to the south in the afternoon. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Tonight, partly cloudy in the evening, then becoming mostly clear. Isolated showers. Lows 69 to 75. Southeast winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Saturday, partly cloudy. Isolated showers in the morning, then scattered showers in the afternoon. Highs 80 to 87. South winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 30 percent.

Saturday night, partly cloudy with scattered showers in the evening, then mostly cloudy with showers likely after midnight. Lows 69 to 75. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60 percent.

Sunday, partly cloudy with scattered showers. Highs 79 to 86. South winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent.
