Moderate to locally fresh trade winds will persist for the next couple of days, the National Weather Service said.

Showers will favor windward and mauka areas, with an increase in rainfall expected tomorrow afternoon and evening as the remnants of a shear line move across the state, according to the forecast.

Moderate trade winds will ease and shift out of the east-southeast early next week as a front approaches the islands.
