Looking Ahead
A breezy trade wind weather pattern can be expected over the next several days. Clouds and showers will favor windward and mauka areas with the trade winds strong enough to blow some low clouds over to leeward spots at times. An upper level disturbance is expected to move over the islands this weekend with an uptick in shower activity forecast. Drier and less breezy weather is expected to return early next week.
Today & Sunday
Mostly cloudy with windward showers likely. Hazy skies for the Kona side with isolated showers in the morning and scattered showers in the afternoon as cloud cover increases. High temperatures from 82° to 87°. Winds will be northeast around 15 to 25 mph, gusting to 40 mph.
UV index at 8 (“very high” exposure level)
Tonight & Sunday Night
