There’s a First Alert for more showers midweek. An area of moisture from an old trough will move in from the east while an upper disturbance will move toward the islands. This will result in enhanced showers, mainly for windward areas, but some showers may make their way leeward, since the trade winds will also become locally breezy. More typical breezy summertime trade wind conditions should return Friday into the weekend.

Some small south swells will keep waves elevated through the week for south shores but below high surf advisory levels. Surf will be small on other shores due to a lack of swell energy. Wave heights on east shores will increase later in the week as the trades strengthen.
