Looking Ahead

Moderate to breezy trade winds are expected through the middle of next week. Clouds and showers will continue to favor windward and mauka spots with some showers pushing into leeward spots on our winds. Wetter trades are expected for the second half of the weekend and early next week as an upper level disturbance develops near the state.

Today 

We expect east winds around 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts. High temperatures are forecast from 79° to 84°. Partly cloudy skies with occasional morning showers for windward spots. For the Kona side, sunshine in the morning with building clouds in the afternoon and isolated showers during that time.

UV index at 12 (“extreme” exposure level)

Tonight 

Northeast winds are forecast around 15 to 20 mph. Mostly cloudy skies with scattered windward showers and clearing for the Kona side. Low temperatures from 68° to 73°.
