Looking Ahead
Locally breezy trade winds are forecast to continue. Passing low clouds and showers will favor our usual windward and mauka spots through early next week. A couple of tropical cyclones expected to move westward across the central Pacific may affect the main Hawaiian Islands beginning late next week, possibly bringing more active weather.
Today
Partly sunny skies today for windward spots with morning showers. Mostly clear for the Kona side with clouds building in the afternoon. Haze is expected. High temperatures from 86° to 91°. Winds will be northeasterly around 15 mph.
