Looking Ahead
High pressure north of the area will provide for moderate to locally breezy trade winds through the week. Clouds and passing showers will favor windward and mauka areas with just a few brief light showers expected over some leeward locations. Trade winds will begin to weaken late this weekend as a ridge of high pressure moves closer to the state.
