Trade winds not due back until the weekend

Advertiser Staff

Light south to southeast winds have replaced the trade winds and will stick around through tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service forecast for today.

Light and variable winds Thursday night will give way to alight trade wind flow on Friday.

Until then, a land and sea breeze wind pattern can be expected over land.

Clouds and limited showers will favor afternoon and evening hours over interior and upslope areas, but a few showers will move over Kaua'i and O'ahu from the south this morning.

Light to moderate trade winds and mostly dry weather are in store for the upcoming three-day weekend.

Here's a more detailed look at the new few days:

Today: Widespread haze after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. East wind around 8 mph becoming south.

Tonight: Widespread haze. Mostly clear, with a low around 70. South wind between 5 and 8 mph becoming calm.
