A weather system west of the state has diminished trade winds across the islands, the National Weather Service said.

Cloud cover and showers will linger over Kaua'i this morning before moving off to the northwest later today, forecasters said.

Trade winds will be back on the upswing starting Wednesday, becoming fresh to locally strong on Thursday and persisting into the weekend to help cool things off a bit and reduce the mugginess.
