A First Alert for more major changes later in the week, when remnants of Tropical Storm Norbert move through the islands. First, trade winds will increase as the pressure gradient tightens. Rainfall will also increase east to west from Wednesday night through Friday night. It will also get quite muggy as the tropical moisture moves through.

Be on the alert that some of the showers associated with Nobert’s remnants could be heavy and cause localized flooding, especially in areas where the ground is still saturated from recent storms, including Hurricanes Lala and Lowell.
