Tropical Storm Darby could bring 2-4 inches of rain to windward Big Island, large swells
“Locally strong trades will focus moisture associated with decaying Tropical Cyclone Darby over windward Big Island today, where periods of heavy rain can be expected. Elsewhere, fairly typical trade wind weather will prevail with passing windward showers and the occasional shower reaching leeward areas.”
Darby weakens to a tropical storm, will pass south of the Big Island on Saturday
Darby has weakened overnight from a hurricane to a tropical storm, and sits well east of Hawaiʻi. The forecast track will bring the center of Darby, or its remnant low, south of the Big Island on Saturday.
5 p.m. UPDATE: Hurricane Darby slowly weakening; System could still bring substantial rain to Hawaiʻi
“While the National Weather Service expects Darby to weaken and pass to our south this weekend, the remains of the tropical system could still bring several inches of rain and locally strong winds to the Big Island and Maui by Saturday,” said Luke Meyers, administrator of HI-EMA.
