Trade winds return to the islands Thursday

Light winds will continue overnight due to a weakening weather system north of Kauai. Expect a gradual clearing in most areas, with some land breezes. Light trade winds may bring a few clouds and showers, especially to the eastern part of the state.

Looking ahead to Sunday night and early next week, more moisture is expected to move in, with higher moisture levels. This, combined with a mid-level disturbance, may lead to increased showers, particularly on windward sides and possibly reaching leeward areas of the smaller islands.
