Light to moderate trade winds will bring passing showers, mainly to windward and mauka areas. Trade winds are expected to strengthen Sunday night and Monday before easing again Tuesday.

We have a first alert for the chance of locally heavy rain and a few thunderstorms Monday through Tuesday, mainly for the eastern end of the state as a trough moves south of the state and sends deep moisture to the islands.

Another early warning, this one for the rest of next week. Forecast models have a front approaching from the northwest and stalling over or just north of the islands, which could create a long period of wet trade wind weather. Details are still uncertain at this point, but we’ll keep you posted.

And yes, there is a First Alert for heavy surf on the north and west shores, with a high surf warning for the north and west shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu and Molokai and the north shores of Maui until Sunday at 6 p.m. :00.
