Fernanda Weather Forecast Less Uncertain
Alerts (as of 1:00 a.m.)
Special Weather Statement: Coastal flooding is possible as spring tides occur. The greatest potential for that will be in the afternoon hours when the tide is expected to be the highest. This coupled with Fernanda swell could lead to higher than usual run-up. This could last for the next few days.
High Surf Advisory: East facing shores of the Big Island and Maui through 6 p.m. Thursday.
Small Craft Advisory: East to northeast winds up to 25 knots through 6:00 a.m. Friday.

Looking Ahead
Breezy winds are forecast through Friday before easing for the weekend. Rainfall associated with Fernanda is expected to spread over the islands this weekend. The weather early next week depends on what happens with the remnants of Fernanda, expected to pass just north of the islands on Monday. Fernanda will likely weaken our winds, and bring very muggy conditions for a couple of days.
Today
We expect northeast winds around 10 to 20 mph. High temperatures are forecast from 84° to 89°. Partly cloudy skies with scattered showers for the Hilo side in the morning. Partly sunny skies in the morning for Kona with afternoon scattered showers mainly for upslope areas.
