HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Dry and stable conditions will persist statewide through Wednesday. This will result in a land and sea breeze regime, with afternoon clouds and a potentially a few brief showers over interior and leeward areas. An approaching cold front could result in slightly better shower coverage over Kauai and Oahu on Thursday, with dry weather continuing elsewhere. Another cold front will approach and potentially reach the islands by early next week. This could result in a few more showers for Kauai and Oahu, though only light accumulations are expected.

A series of large to extra large northwest to north-northwest swells is due this week.

High Surf Warning (HSW) for most north and west facing shores is in place from Kauai to Maui. Surf is expected to reach High Surf Warning levels Wednesday afternoon or evening. Another big swell is due on Sunday. Surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through much of the week.
