Trade winds are expected to weaken and turn out of the southeast as a surface high pressure ridge moves down to Kauai tonight, according to the National Weather Service forecast for Hawaii.

By Friday, volcanic haze from the Big Island is apt to move up and over the other islands, forecasters said.
A late season front will reach Kauai early Sunday and move across the central islands throughout the day.
This will finally bring a change to somewhat wetter weather that may persist into next week.
