Go with the

Certain areas of Hawaii are especially windy in the afternoon, and clouds are ok. Don't check the weather too far in advance (if at all), we'll keep an eye on it for you. Often rain never eventuates, and if it does, we wait until 1 hour prior to call it as it clears quickly in most cases.
