Advertiser Staff

Gentle trade winds will continue again today and will carry some showers over windward areas, the National Weather Service said.

Daytime heating will result in clouds and showers over leeward areas as well, forecasters said.

The winds will slacken during the weekend, becoming light and variable. Showers will be concentrated over interior areas Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Local downpours are a possibility and vog may become more widespread.

A high pressure area is expected to build north of the islands early next week, bringing a gradual return of trade wind weather.
