Gentle trade winds will continue to blow through Friday, the National Weather Service said.

The trades will send a few showers over windward areas but will be weak enough to allow afternoon showers to form over leeward areas, forecasters said.

The winds will shift to lift and variable during the weekend. Land breezes will bring clear nights and mornings while daytime sea breezes will produce clouds and showers in the afternoons.

The upper atmosphere is expected to remain stable, keeping rainfall totals low.

Windward showers will resume next week as a high pressure area builds to the north of the islands and trade winds return over the state.
