Cool temperatures and rainy weather expected tonight
Keep an umbrella handy as forecasters are expecting showers tonight through Tuesday for the Hawaiian islands with a chance of vog later in the week and the possibility of a wet weekend.
What forecasters are calling “an area of enhanced moisture” is expected to move south over the state this evening, following fairly dry weather this afternoon.
“Expect an increase in shower activity particularly across windward and mauka areas. The stronger trade winds will allow some of the showers to spill into leeward areas as well,” the National Weather Service said.
The rainy weather is likely to reach Kauai this evening and Oahu later tonight and should continue through Tuesday.
One of two cold fronts approaching the state is expected to stall near Kauai and could cut off the tradewinds on Wedesday.
The light winds may allow rain clouds to form over leeward areas in the afternoon because of daytime heating.

Now even the weather forecast is “politically” correct. We are not going to have rain but “areas of enhanced moisture”. Thank goodness I don’t remember Ben G ever using the term. I’m not so sure about Guy Haggi. When he comes on, we change channels since he gets pretty hysterical sometimes. Hope somebody tells the guy to calm down. It’s only weather and no matter how much we talk about it, we aren’t going to change it.
