First Alert Forecast: Light trade winds for now, locally breezy later this week

Trade winds will remain gentle to moderate into midweek, which will allow some pop-up showers to form during the afternoon for sheltered leeward and interior areas. The trades will become locally breezy Thursday into the weekend, which will once again bring more clouds and showers to windward areas and clear and mostly dry weather for most leeward spots.

In surf, a series of small swells from the south-southwest and south-southeast will maintain some waves for south-facing shores through the week. Waves on east shores will remain small with the lighter trade winds. There might be a small increase in wave heights for north and west shores around the middle of the week.
