Vog to blow away slowly
The anticipated return of vog-clearing trade winds did not occur quite as forecast on Saturday as Hawaii skies remained hazy amid light to moderate winds.
A high-pressure system north-northwest of Kauai is expected to strengthen overnight as it moves east-northeast. The result should allow moderate tradewinds to spread across the state, according to the National Weather Service.
Showers are expected for Oahu and Kaui overnight and into Sunday.
Tradewinds are expected to diminish by Sunday night.
Forecasters predict overall dry weather through the coming week.
Meanwhile, the run of hotter-than-usual weather continued Saturday as temperatures in Honolulu and Hilo reached record levels, according to the National Weather Service.
