Looking Ahead
A bit of unsettled weather is expected for parts of the state for the next couple of days as a late season cold front makes it way down the island chain. The front is expected to reach Kauai late Friday afternoon and continue slowly eastward, reaching Maui county Saturday morning. The front is expected to stall over the eastern end of the island chain over the weekend. The western islands will be under the influence of a typical trade wind regime.
Today
We expect mostly cloudy skies with numerous windward showers in the morning and scattered showers in the afternoon. The Kona side and northwest will be partly sunny to start and mostly cloudy with scattered showers in the afternoon as clouds build due to the developing sea breeze. Locally heavy rainfall is possible. Hazy areas are expected. Variable winds are forecast from 10 to 15 mph. High temperatures from 82° to 87°.
UV index at 12 (“extreme” exposure level)
