Looking Ahead

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.

UV index at 13 (“extreme” exposure level)

Tonight

Winds will be northeasterly around 15 mph. Partly cloudy with scattered showers and haze throughout the night. Low temperatures from 69° to 74°.
