Alerts
A Flood Watch remains in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday 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
Locally heavy showers as well as a few thunderstorms can be expected through Thursday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Light trade winds along with a slightly drier and more stable airmass is expected to return beginning Friday. Clouds and passing showers will then favor windward and mauka areas. Tropical cyclone Ignacio may approach the area early next week. It is too early to discuss any potential impacts since it will all depend on the track and intensity of the system as it nears the state.
Today
Today we expect partly cloudy skies. Isolated showers are expected in the morning then showers are likely in the afternoon with a slight chance of thunderstorms. High temperatures from 87° to 92° are expected but will likely feel warmer than the thermometer indicates. Variable winds up to 15 mph are forecasted.
UV index at 13 (“extreme” exposure level)
Tonight
Mostly cloudy skies are expected tonight with scattered windward and mauka showers. Isolated showers are expected for leeward areas. Low temperatures from 74° to 79°. Variable winds are expected up to 15 mph.
