Narrative:

On descent to hnl at approximately 10000 ft we began to encounter turbulence. There was some indication of light rain showers on the radar with light rain showers reported at the airport. Turbulence increased to heavy, moderate to severe as we continued descent to 7000 ft. Rain was moderate. We broke out of the moderate rain and turbulence subsided after approximately 1 to 1 1/2 mins. Prior to encounter hnl approach control gave no indication of significant WX. During our reported encounter, they did indicate an area of WX and gave us a suggested heading approximately 20 degrees off course to clear WX area. We did clear main area of WX within approximately 10 mi. All passengers were seated during the encounter but several flight attendants who were completing their approach checks received minor injuries. Supplemental information from acn 223876. Radar was on no cells shown, no lightning in clouds or from clouds. Made a PA prior to entering turbulence and said they should be in their seat with the belts on. Flight attendants were not buckled up yet. Received bumps and bruises. Supplemental information from acn 223593. As we slowed and descended to 7000 ft, we took a moderate to severe jolt which injured 2 flight attendants who were not seated. Passengers were all strapped in.
