The Easter bunny may be hopping cold these days as winter-like temperatures, created by cool, northerly winds, continue to plague the Islands for the third consecutive day.

This morning's low temperature broke three records for this date.

It was 59 degrees at Honolulu Airport at 6 a.m. breaking the 19-year record of 61 degrees. Yesterday's low at the airport also set a record.

Kahului Airport on Maui was downright chilly this morning where a 54-degree reading was recorded. The previous record was 57 degrees.

This morning's record low also was the lowest temperature ever recorded in April at Kahului.

Hilo Airport on the Big Island was 61 degrees, breaking by 1 degrees the low reading recorded in 1959, 1965, 1973 and 1981.

Lihue Airport on Kauai recorded a 60-degree reading, a degree above its record low for this date.

The cool weather is the result of dry, northerly winds blowing over the Islands. The winds are being generated by a low pressure system several hundred miles northeast of the islands, the National Weather Services said.

Temperatures are expected to remain cool into the weekend.

Oahu's forecast for today called for mostly sunny skies, northerly winds 5 to 15 mph and high temperatures in the upper 70s lows in the lower 60s. Tonight is expected to be fair and cool.

Tomorrow should be mostly sunny with some high clouds. Winds will be northeast 5 to 15 mph.
