Tradewinds, meanwhile, are not expected to return until Sunday, also shifting the vog plume from the Big Island back to the south and away from the smaller islands.
Forecasters, warn, however, that another round of rains and muggy, voggy weather are possible as early as Tuesday of next week.
The air quality index this afternoon, meanwhile, is moderate in two areas — Ocean View, Hawaii island, with a score of 62, and 82 in Honolulu, according to AirNow. With moderate air quality (scores of 51 to 100), unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion.
