Trade winds back in the forecast

Advertiser Staff

Did you feel it?

No, not the minor earthquake yesterday — the return of the trade winds last

night.

Thatıs right, theyıre b-a-a-a-c-k, and that should make for much more pleasant weather for the rest of the work week, according to the National Weather Service forecast.

The muggy and stagnant weather of the past few days has packed up and left town, thanks to the trades, which are expected to strengthen throughout the day and remain at moderate levels through Friday, forecasters said.

Showers will be light to moderate over windward and mauka areas, mainly during night and early morning hours.

The trades are expected to decrease a notch for the weekend as a low pressure system moves over the state.

Hereıs a detailed look at the next few days:

Today, partly cloudy in the morning, then becoming mostly sunny. Highs 81 to 89. Northeast winds 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight, mostly clear in the evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Isolated showers. Lows 66 to 77. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Wednesday, partly cloudy with isolated showers in the morning, then mostly sunny in the afternoon. Highs 81 to 89. East winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Wednesday night, mostly clear in the evening then becoming partly cloudy. Isolated showers. Lows 66 to 76. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.
