Scattered showers on the windward side this morning, with a few possible on leeward areas, as moderate trades continue through tonight. Winds drop off after dark.

Tuesday brings light winds and a weak sea breeze—your best day before conditions shift. Showers stay mainly windward and inland overnight, with a few possible afternoon showers on leeward slopes. Wednesday through Friday a low-pressure system stalls north of the islands and pulls in tropical moisture. Heavy rain is likely, especially on south-facing slopes. South winds will replace the trades, and a west swell from a distant typhoon may bring moderate surf to west-facing shores by Thursday.

Get your beach time and hiking in on Tuesday. Plan for rain mid-week on the south side.

Wednesday through Friday, a low-pressure system stalls north of the islands, drawing tropical moisture southward. Heavy rain is likely, especially on south-facing slopes. Winds shift to the south, and long-period swells will reach south-facing shores. A west swell from Typhoon Choi-wan may bring moderate surf to west-facing shores by Thursday.

Tuesday is your window for beach, snorkeling, and hiking. Save other activities for early in the day once rain moves in midweek.
