Advertiser Staff
A high pressure area to the north of the islands will keep trade winds blowing but they will probably be on the light side through the weekend, the National Weather Service said.
The atmosphere will be a bit unstable so locally heavy showers are possible, especially in the afternoons, forecasters said.
The trades are expected to build again and become quite breezy by the middle of the new week.
Later in the week, a disturbance passing south of the state main help maintain the breezy trades.
