Looking Ahead
We expect to dry out a bit Friday as moderate to fresh trade winds work their way back into the forecast. Moisture on the edges of Tropical depression Three-C may bring back increasing showers and humidity this weekend. Increasing wind and rain are expected for the western end of the chain early next week, but the forecast details are highly dependent on the eventual track and intensity of the system.
Today
We expect moderate northeasterly winds to help cool things off for us today. Winds should be around 10 to 20 mph. Mostly sunny skies are in the forecast with morning showers for windward and mauka areas and just isolated showers in leeward spots. High temperatures are expected around 87° to 92°.
UV index at 13 (“extreme” exposure level)
Tonight
