First Alert Forecast: Breezy winds and fair conditions to welcome the New Year

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Typical trade wind weather is expected for most of this week, with moderate to breezy wind speeds and scattered showers focused over windward and mountain areas. The exception is late Tuesday into early Wednesday, when a plume of moisture is forecast to move in from the east, boosting windward showers. Trades will weaken Friday through the weekend as a front approaches from the northwest. Vog will likely increase across the state Friday through the weekend as the trades weaken and veer out of the southeast.

Medium northwest swell will continue through Tuesday. A large northwest swell is forecast to arrive Wednesday and will produce advisory level surf. An even larger northwest swell will arrive this weekend. Surf along south and east facing shores is expected to remain small this week.
