Hawaii weather: Breezy trades, rainy today

Advertiser Staff

An area of high pressure will remain north of the state the next few days, keeping trade winds quite breezy, the National Weather Service said.

Showers will continue to favor windward and mauka areas, but may spread leeward from time to time, according to the forecast.

Scattered showers continued to pepper the windward and mountain regions of all the major Hawaiian islands early this morning. Some of these showers are spilling over to the leeward territory due in part of the stiff trades.

Here's how the remainder of the work week is shaping up:

Today: Isolated showers before noon. Partly cloudy, with a high near 77. Breezy, with a east wind between 21 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Tonight: Scattered showers, mainly after midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 72. Breezy, with a east wind around 22 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Breezy, with a east wind between 22 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.

Thursday Night: Scattered showers. Partly cloudy, with a low around 73. East wind around 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Breezy, with a east wind between 16 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Friday Night: Scattered showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 74. East wind around 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
