Trick-or-treaters can expect a few showers and breezy tradewinds this evening, especially in windward and mauka areas.
But it won’t be as wet as this past weekend.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with scattered showers in windward and mauka areas and isolated showers in leeward areas with east winds of 15 to 25 mph and lows between 69 and 74 degrees.
“It’ll be breezy, but otherwise drier tradewind weather than we’ve been having,” said Derek Wroe, a meteorologist with the Honolulu office of the National Weather Service.
The forecast for Waikiki and other areas along the south shore calls for a 40 percent chance of rain.
“Most likely it (Waikiki) will be dry, but you can’t rule out a brief shower,” Wroe said.
Most of the state has started to dry out from the wet tradewind weather over the weekend. But a few showers may linger on the Big Island.
“It will be a little bit wetter early in the evening on the windward Big Island, the Hilo side,” Wroe said.
Tradewinds should begin to decrease late Tuesday into Wednesday.
