Synopsis: Winds have become light and variable as an approaching cold front is approaching Kauai. The front will move southeast near 20 knots in the short term, with gentle to moderate southwest to westerly kona winds expected to develop Wednesday in advance of the front. The front is expected to enter Kauai northwest waters just before daybreak Wednesday, over Oahu waters mid-morning Wednesday, and Maui County waters Wednesday afternoon and evening. The front will likely be weakening and slowing in forward speed after crossing Oahu, dissipating near the Big Island Thursday. The front will bring a relatively brief period of rainfall, with the potential for thunderstorms and heavy showers, mainly over Kauai and Oahu waters.
