New small northwest fills in today, small craft advisory holds
Hanalei, KAUAI (KITV4) - According to the National Weather Service in Honolulu, a rather dry pattern will continue across the state today through Monday night, while the trade winds gradually ease and shift southeasterly.
A front will stall out west of Kauai Tuesday through Thursday, bringing an increase in south to southeast winds to the state.
The southerly flow will bring an increase in moisture and the potential for some heavier showers and even a few thunderstorms, particularly over the western islands.
Trade winds and a more typical windward and mauka shower pattern appears to return for the end of the work week and into next weekend.
Surfwise, a new northwest swell is building.
North: 4-6'
West: 2-3'
South: 0-2'
