A low-pressure area will approach the state from the north this weekend and slowly drift west of Kauai by early in the new week, bringing unsettled weather and the potential for heavy rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.Light breezes will allow only isolated showers this morning, but afternoon sea breezes will produce clouds and heavy showers over interior sections, forecasters said.
More widespread rain is expected to begin over the western part of the state tonight and continue moving east over the rest of the island chain into early next week.
