HONOLULU (KHON2) — After a brief return of the trade winds Tuesday, southerly winds will take over as a storm front nears the islands during this time. Early morning showers are expected Thursday before drier than normal conditions return Friday and this weekend. Next week, winds speeds could ramp up as trades strengthen to 30 mph with higher gusts. Depending on humidity levels, this may put the islands at a higher brushfire risk. For now winds remain light through the end of this week.
