Vog To Clear By Weekend

An approaching cold front northwest of the Hawaiian Islands may clear out the volcanic haze, or "vog," which has blanketed the state for most of the week.
The latest forecast shows the front reaching Kauai Saturday night, and then moving to Oahu Sunday and Maui County late Sunday before stalling.
The front should bring increased clouds and showers to most of the state. Southwest winds ahead of the system should be able to push the vog northward and away from the state as soon as Saturday. However, the southwest Kona winds will mean the weather will continue to be muggy.
Meanwhile, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance more than 800 miles southwest of Honolulu. The disturbance is moving slowly northeast toward the state, bringing the possibility of locally heavy showers early next week. However, it's still too early to tell whether that will actually happen.
