HONOLULU (KHON2) - Brief passing showers remain in the forecast this week, though, favoring windward and mountain areas in the overnight to early morning time period, but are expected to remain mostly light with little rainfall accumulation.
The lighter overall wind flow will allow a hybrid sea breeze and trade wind weather pattern to develop from Monday through Friday.
Surface heating will enhance the sea breezes along the wind sheltered leeward areas.
This will result in cloud buildups along the leeward mountain slopes each afternoon, with perhaps a stray shower or two into the early evening hours.
Otherwise, mostly stable conditions should prevail.
In the long-range forecast, some of the global models suggest a slight increase in shower trends.
However, it will likely be subtle changes in the location and strength of some weak upper level lows that will drive our sensible weather for next weekend, so forecast confidence in shower activity is low this far out in time.
