Synopsis: Gentle to moderate trade winds will gradually increase from east to west through Tuesday, as a weak low fills northwest of Kauai, and a surface ridge builds north of the state. Moderate to locally fresh trades will strengthen Thursday as surface high pressure builds far north of the state, and a Small Craft Advisory (SCA) will likely be needed for the typically windy waters around Big Island and Maui. Trades will further strengthen Friday into the weekend, and may require an expansion of the SCA to additional waters.
