Strong trades will focus showers over windward and mauka areas through Thursday, particularly for the eastern end of the state.

More trade wind shower activity can be expected tonight through tomorrow due to a disturbance passing to our south.

Trades then ease for the weekend and into next week with limited shower activity.

High Surf Advisory has expired for most north and west shores, but the swell is dropping. Surf along east-facing shores will rise through Thursday due to the gusty winds.
