The National Weather Service says the tradewinds will gradually weaken, bringing hot and humid weather next week.

Forecasters expect today and Sunday to be partly sunny with some scattered windward and mauka showers that could blow over to leeward areas. Temperatures could get up to 85 to 90 degrees, but northeast winds of 10 to 20 mph should provide some relief from the heat. Temperatures will get down to 72 to 77 degrees at night.

A weather system northwest of the state is expected to weaken the tradewinds and bring up tropical moisture from the south as the work week begins. There’s also a chance of vog.

The hot, muggy weather could also cause afternoon showers to form over leeward slopes.

Tradewinds should return later in the week.
