Hawaii News Now • • nation
Key Points:
- Residual moisture from Tropical Storm Lowell is causing heavy showers on the Big Island and parts of Maui County, with spotty afternoon showers elsewhere in Hawaii due to sea breezes.
- Trade winds are expected to strengthen late Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing drier weather from Thursday night through early next week, although moisture levels remain elevated for now.
- Satellite imagery shows drier air moving into Maui County while Tropical Storm Lowell's moisture lingers over the Big Island, resulting in moderate rainfall rates around 0.50 inches per hour.
- Scattered showers are expected to increase on windward island sides tonight into Thursday morning, with a slight chance of thunderstorms and heavier rain over the Big Island's interior.
- From Friday through early next week, light to moderate trade winds will bring typical trade showers mainly to windward areas, accompanied by decreasing humidity due to low-level drying.
