Strong trades will return by the middle of next week, as another area of strong high pressure builds to the north of the state.

Today we expect mostly sunny skies with scattered morning showers in windward spots and isolated showers for leeward areas. Windy conditions are forecast with 15 to 30 mph northeast winds gusting to 45 mph. High temperatures from 80° to 85°.
