It looks like we're in for a break from the heat of the past several days.

The National Weather Service says a strengthening high pressure area near Hawaii will bring an increase in trade winds that will persist through the weekend.
Along with the increase in winds, shower activity is also expected to increase, with showers mostly affecting windward and mauka areas.
Here’s a closer look at what to expect for the remainder of the work week:
Today: Isolated showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 85. East wind between 13 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Tonight: Isolated showers before midnight. Partly cloudy, with a low around 74. East wind around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
Tomorrow: Scattered showers, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 85. Breezy, with a east wind between 17 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. There is a 40 percent chance of rain.
