Sunday and Monday light easterly winds with widely scattered showers. VOG is possible.

Tuesday moderate easterly trade winds with typical scattered windward showers, mostly during the night and early morning hours.

Lots of tropical moisture around our island through Saturday. An area of enhanced moisture that moved overhead the past couple of days is slow to leave the area due to light winds. An additional bump in moisture comes from the remnants of a weak low, which passes by to our south Friday and Saturday. Models have trended a little farther north with this feature and as it passes it will help to keep humid conditions in place through Saturday.  Drier air begins to filter into the region on returning easterly flow Sunday. Strengthening high pressure to our north and northeast brings a return of more typical trade winds conditions around Tuesday.
