Looking Ahead
Winds are forecast to ease and shift out of the southeast Thursday as a front approaches. That means our weather pattern will also shift to spotty afternoon showers for interior and leeward areas instead of our usual windward and mauka showers. Friday, the front is forecast to bring increasing clouds and rain to Kauai, with prefrontal showers (some heavy) for the rest of the state. Wet and unstable conditions are expected over portions of the state over the weekend and into next week.
Today
We expect east winds today around 15 mph. High temperatures are forecast from 82° to 87°. Partly sunny skies with scattered windward showers and scattered afternoon showers for leeward areas as clouds build.
UV index at 12 (“extreme” exposure level)
Tonight
East winds are forecast around 15 mph. Mostly cloudy skies with windward scattered showers and isolated showers for the Kona side. Low temperatures from 69° to 74°.
