Unstable air could bring a few heavy showers today

Advertiser Staff

Light winds with local land and sea breezes are being caused by an upper level low pressure area that will be passing north of the main Hawaiian Islands today and tonight, according to the National Weather Service.

The low has made the air mass over the islands unstable enough to support locally heavy showers this afternoon, especially over the interior sections, forecasters said.

The low should be heading on its way by Sunday with more typical light to moderate trade winds and showers returning by Monday.

Here's a more detailed look at the next few days:

Today, partly sunny with isolated showers. Highs around 86. North winds around 10 mph shifting to the south in the late morning and afternoon. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Tonight, mostly cloudy with scattered showers in the evening, then partly cloudy with isolated showers after midnight. Lows 63 to 71. North winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.

Sunday, mostly sunny. Isolated showers in the morning...then scattered showers in the afternoon. Highs around 86. North winds around 10 mph shifting to the south in the late morning and afternoon. Chance of rain 40 percent.

Sunday night, partly cloudy. Lows 67 to 75. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph.

Monday, mostly sunny with isolated showers. Highs 82 to 89. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Monday night, partly cloudy with isolated showers. Lows 68 to 75. Northeast winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.
