HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Stable and relatively dry conditions will persist through most of the forecast period, with the possible exception of a brief uptick in windward showers today and again on Sunday night into Monday as two successive fronts approach the area. Light winds in advance of both of these fronts will result in a land and sea breeze regime through the weekend, with afternoon clouds and potentially a few brief showers over interior and leeward areas. Trade winds will strengthen early next week.
