Southeast winds, which will be variable at times, are expected to persist through the week, the National Weather Service said.

This is due to a high pressure ridge to the northeast and a trough to the west, forecasters said.

Skies will be cloudy to partly cloudy today with the best chance of rain on Kaua'i and the windward side of the Big Island.
