Weather: Hazy conditions may clear this weekend
Advertiser Staff
An area of high pressure has moved over the Islands and is likely to stick around for another day resulting in light winds, the National Weather Service said.
By tomorrow, a high-pressure area will begin building far to the north of the Islands bringing a more typical trade-wind pattern.
The atmosphere is rather dry so afternoon clouds will produce only isolated showers.
As the trades return over the weekend, the haze will be cleared from the smaller islands and windward and mountain areas will revert back to the typical cloudiness and scattered showers.
Here's a more thorough look at what's in store during the next few days:
Today: Isolated showers after noon. Widespread haze. Partly cloudy, with a high near 77. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.
Tonight: Isolated showers after midnight. Widespread haze before midnight. Partly cloudy, with a low around 66. Light north wind. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.
Saturday: Isolated showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 80. East wind around 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.
