A high pressure area to the north of the islands will result in strengthening trade winds today, with the trades expected to last through much of the weekend, the National Weather Service said.

As trades return, expect clouds and showers to form mostly over the windward and mauka areas.

A developing trough next week will likely disrupt the trade wind flow once again, forecasters said.
