Looking Ahead
Complicated weather is expected through the weekend. All the ingredients will be present for flare ups in the form of heavy rain and thunderstorms. A front is forecast to stall over the state while simultaneously a disturbance high in the atmosphere brings instability. The heaviest rainfall is expected over Maui County and wet weather should continue into next week with a drying trend through the work week.
Today & Sunday
We expect variable winds today around 5 to 15 mph. High temperatures are forecast from 78° to 83°. Locally heavy rainfall is possible today with partly sunny skies and scattered showers forecast for the morning. Mostly cloudy skies with scattered thunderstorms are forecast for the afternoon. Showers are likely at that time as well.
Sunday, mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Locally heavy rainfall is still possible.
UV index at 8 (“very high” exposure level)
Tonight & Sunday Night
