The trade winds will prevail but will remain on the weaker side through early Saturday, the National Weather Service said.

A dry and stable air mass will remain in place over the islands, forecasters said.

Lighter trades will allow afternoon clouds and possibly an isolated shower to develop over leeward areas the next couple of days.

The trade winds are expected to rebuild over the weekend and into the early part of next week.
