Mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers in windward and mauka areas tonight.

Looking Ahead
Locally breezy trade winds are expected through the end of the work week. The trades are forecasted to bring passing showers to windward areas with a few reaching leeward locations on the smaller islands. Trades are expected to drop to moderate levels for the weekend as an old frontal cloud band moves south over the islands during the weekend and brings increasing showers.
