The National Weather Service forecast for Hawaii continues to focus on a weak high pressure area north of the state that will shift east over the next few days, resulting in lighter trade winds through Thursday.

Shower activity will be concentrated primarily over windward and mauka areas, forecasters said.

Local sea breezes will bring a few more afternoon clouds and showers to leeward areas through Thursday.

The trades will regain strength from late Friday into the weekend as a high pressure area rebuilds north of the sate.
