The weather across the Hawaiian Islands is mostly calm today, as "remnants of a front linger over between Maui County and the Big Island will continue to dissipate," resulting in lighter rainfall and calmer conditions. The Big Island Summits remain under a Wind Advisory until noon HST for gusty winds, which are expected to weaken as the day progresses, according to the National Weather Service.
Looking toward the weekend, a stronger front from the northwest is expected to bring increased showers and thunderstorms, especially to western areas. Winds "will begin to pick up a bit from light to more moderate," and aviation conditions may improve above 2,000 feet, though localized MVFR conditions could still develop in the afternoon, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Mariners should expect changing conditions as breezes in the eastern nearshore waters shift, with "gentle winds will veer around to the east southeast by tonight and become more southerly Saturday." Showers and possible thunderstorms are forecast. Surfers can expect a "moderate size, medium period northwest swell" Sunday and Monday, which may reach High Surf Advisory levels. Fire weather conditions remain below critical thresholds, and weather alerts continue to monitor the situation across the islands, as stated by the National Weather Service.
