Looking Ahead
Mostly dry and hazy weather is expected for the next few days. Trade winds are forecast to gradually return early next week. A powerful storm in the North Pacific created a swell that will produce very large surf along most north and west facing shores of the Hawaiian Islands starting early Friday morning, and continuing into this weekend.
Today
We have east winds today with local sea breezes kicking in this afternoon for the Kona side. Winds will be up around 15 mph with high temperatures from 79° to 84° but feeling warmer due to the heat index.
