Lighter trade winds will allow the development of local sea breezes over leeward sections of the islands each afternoon from today through Saturday, the National Weather Service said.

The drop in trades will result in an increase in cloud cover and a chance of showers over the leeward and interior sections of most islands during the afternoon and early evening hours, forecasters said.

Expect slightly stronger trade winds to return by Sunday as a high pressure area builds to the north of O'ahu.
