Today's weather will follow a typical trade wind patter, with low clouds and showers mainly favoring windward and mauka areas, the National Weather Service said.

Cloudy skies and showers associated with a cold front are expected to push across the island chain from the north on Thursday, forecasters said.

A surface low pressure area moving down to a position just north of the islands will likely bring more unsettled weather to the state this weekend.
