Blustery weather expected to last the weekend

Advertiser Staff

It's likely to be another overcast day in Hawai'i with high clouds sitting over most of the state, the National Weather Service said.

Trade winds will continue into next week with occasional blustery conditions, forecasters said.

A shear line just north of the state will keep the trades on the wet side today and on into the weekend.

The rain that affected Kaua'i overnight has moved off to the northeast, but not before some parts of the Garden Isle received moderate mounts of rainfall.

Hanalei recorded 1.36 inches while Princeville Airport got 2.15 inches.

The rest of the islands remained generally dry, except for a few showers over the windward side of the Big Island.

Here's a look at how the next few days are shaping up:

Today: Scattered showers, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 82. East wind around 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent.
