Weather Update: Showers Persist After Rain Threat Eases Across Hawaiian Islands
HONOULLU (KHON2) – Although the heavy rain threat has subsided for the Hawaiian Islands, light showers will continue on the windward side through Friday. Trade winds are projected to peak at 30 miles per hour on Thursday, with calmer conditions expected over the weekend.
In the immediate forecast, a weak low-pressure system shifting west is causing unsettled weather, resulting in intermittent showers. The risk of flash flooding has diminished, leading to the cancellation of the Flood Watch. By Tuesday, conditions are anticipated to stabilize, with drier weather and reduced chances of rain.
Later in the week, the situation may change as remnants of Hurricane Kristy are expected to introduce additional showers and the potential for heavier rain, particularly impacting the Big Island on Wednesday. These conditions are forecasted to extend to neighboring islands by Friday, though current assessments do not indicate an elevated risk of flash flooding.
As the weekend approaches, weather patterns should shift to drier conditions accompanied by lighter trade winds. Sea breezes are likely to emerge along the western slopes, offering a different weather experience for residents and visitors.
Authorities continue to monitor weather developments closely and advise residents to prepare accordingly, while enjoying the evolving conditions characteristic of Hawaii’s dynamic climate. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops throughout the week.
