Looking Ahead
Windy conditions are expected to continue through the holiday weekend. Passing showers will favor our usual windward and mauka spots, leaving leeward spots mostly dry. An increase in moisture is possible through the second half of the weekend and early next week.
Thanksgiving & Black Friday
We expect northeast winds up to 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. Partly to mostly cloudy skies are forecast with scattered windward showers and becoming less cloudy as the day goes on. Lots of leeward sunshine with isolated afternoon showers as clouds build. Some areas of haze as well. Temperatures up to 79° to 84°.
UV index at 5 (“moderate” exposure level)
Tonight & Tomorrow Night
Mostly cloudy skies with scattered windward showers and isolated leeward showers. Low temperatures from 64° to 69°. Winds are expected to be northeast up to 15 to 30 mph.
