Rainfall will be focused over windward slopes, though showers will periodically spill over to leeward sections. A return of a more typical trade wind pattern is expected Sunday into Tuesday as drier air moves over the islands. Unsettled weather and disrupted trade winds are possible during middle to latter half of the week.
