A First Alert for some changes in the later part of the week, thanks to tropical cyclone Norbert. The current forecast calls for it to become a post-tropical low by Tuesday and pass to the south of the islands.

Trade winds will increase as the pressure gradient tightens around Norbert’s remnants, with rainfall and humidity increasing east to west from Wednesday night through Friday night.

The tropical moisture from Norbert will combine with a surface and upper trough, which could result in some flooding across the state. Stay tuned.

Surf along south-facing shores are declining with a facing swell. A moderate swell generated near New Zealand could give bump to south shore surf around mid to late week next week.

Elsewhere, surf along east-facing shores will remain small through the week, with an increase in the coming week with stronger trade winds and a swell generated by Norbert. North shore surf will remain tiny to flat.
