A strong high pressure system far north of Hawaii will maintain moderate to fresh trade winds through most of the week, the National Weather Service said.

Weak frontal remnants will pass over the islands Wednesday causing a slight increase in the trade showers, forecasters said.

A large low pressure area will move into position far northeast of the state Wednesday and cause trade winds to become northeasterly during the second half of the week.

More typical trade winds will resume late in the weekend into early next week.
