First Alert Forecast: Showers moving across Oahu this afternoon, nice weather prevails the rest of the week

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A cold front to the northwest of the state has led to an increase in showers across Kauai and Oahu today. Showers and some pockets of heavy rainfall will continue to impact Oahu throughout this evening.

A few showers could also impact the western half of Maui County, however, weather models agree that the band of moisture is likely to fall apart later this evening. Maui and Hawaii Island are expected to miss out on this round of rainfall.

Some light remnant showers are expected for Kauai and Oahu on Tuesday. Nice weather is expected throughout the rest of this week. Trade winds are expected to return on Tuesday, leading to a few windward/mauka showers.

Another cold front is expected to move close to the island chain again this weekend, weakening the trade wind flow. A few afternoon showers could pop up on Saturday and Sunday.

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY is currently in effect for the north and west-facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai. The advisory also includes the north-facing shores of Maui and the Kona coast of Hawaii Island.

This advisory will last until 6 PM on Wednesday. Surf on north-facing shores could reach up to 16 feet.
