HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Breezy to locally strong trade winds will persist for much of the coming week, with a First Alert for trades that trigger wind advisories for portions of the state around midweek.

Forecast models are showing another area of moisture over the islands around Wednesday, with showers still favoring the usual windward and mauka areas.

A high surf advisory has been issued for the north-facing shores of most islands through 6 a.m. Tuesday for waves that could reach 18 feet. Another swell could come close to high surf advisory levels for north and west shores midweek.
