Moderate trade winds will persist through Saturday. The stable trade wind flow will focus clouds and showers over windward slopes, while random pockets of moisture periodically spread light showers to leeward areas of the smaller islands. The Kona slopes of the Big Island will experience a few afternoon showers.
