Alerts

A Flood Watch remains in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday for all islands. An unstable and very moist air mass on the back side of the tropical system is lingering across the state. This moisture interacting with the land is expected to produce periods of heavy rain and slow-moving downpours that could lead to flash flooding. If that occurs a more urgent Flood Advisory (flooding is imminent) or Flood Warning (flooding is occurring) will be posted by the National Weather Service.

Looking Ahead

Extremely humid conditions will keep showers heavier than usual over the islands through most of the week. Light winds will yield to modest trade winds by the weekend, and they may start to bring in drier air, but unsettled conditions appear likely to return by early next week.

High temperatures from 87° to 92° are expected but will likely feel warmer than the thermometer indicates. Variable winds from 5 to 15 mph are forecasted.
