Generally east-southeast to east winds are present across Hawaii,
with the slight veering of the winds due to upper and surface lows
to the northwest of the state. Another day or so of winds staying
light to moderate over the eastern islands and weak enough over
the northwestern islands to allow for a hybrid trade and land/sea
breeze pattern can be expected. Some showers are possible but
should not be too widespread.

For midweek and beyond, surface highs developing well north of the
state and eventually consolidating will lead to gradually
increasing easterly trades, reaching moderate to breezy levels by
Friday and lasting into early next week. Meanwhile model guidance
is in fairly good agreement with showing a mid-upper trough/low
centered west of Hawaii late week and then coming overhead by
early next week. This should provide some instability for
increased showers, which would favor windward and mauka areas
given the increasing trades.
