A Special Weather Statement has been issued for the Hawaiian Islands for gusty north to northeast winds expected on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

Looking Ahead
A cold front will sweep down the island chain Tuesday through Wednesday, bringing clouds and showers. Cool and strong northerly winds will increase dramatically as the front passes, with windy conditions expected into Thursday as the winds turn to the northeast. Breezy trade winds will then prevail into the weekend brining clouds and brief showers to windward areas.
Today
Today we expect conditions to deteriorate as a front reaches us and travels down the island chain. Cloud cover will increase along with showers sometime in the afternoon / evening hours. Winds will be shifting as this occurs. Ahead of the front winds will be southwest from about 10 to 20 mph then shifting out of the north from 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph in some spots. High temperatures from 78° to 83°.
UV index at 12 (“extreme” exposure level)
Tonight
