There are still pockets of moderate to heavy showers flowing in from the south. Molokai is seeing some frequent rainfall as are the southern neighborhoods of east Maui and the southeast districts on Hawaii Island. But the overall situation is much improved and we will transition to much more pleasant weather over the next 48 hours.

Southerly winds will stay through Friday and then trades should be back for the weekend. Drier, sunnier weather should stick around at least until the middle of next week.
