A strong high pressure system to the north is weakening today and tomorrow, causing the strong tradewinds to decrease, said forecaster Jonathan Hoag. But another front will cause the winds to pick up again Monday for a day or two.

Statewide, the winds were blowing 20 to 30 mph yesterday, with gusts up to 50 mph. Except for Maui County, tradewinds should be 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts.

On Oahu, police shut down Piikoi Street about 5 a.m. yesterday due to an uprooted utility pole, whose wires were hanging.

The Honolulu Fire Department responded to four reports of blown roofs between 6:27 a.m. and 5:10 p.m., and made some emergency repairs, said fire Capt. Terry Seelig. The roof problems, in varying degrees, occurred in Manoa Valley, Kaimuki, Makiki and Kalihi Valley.
