On Wednesday, Honolulu will see mostly clear skies with overnight lows near 68°F and a high around 81°F. Light east winds and abundant sunshine will keep conditions pleasant through Thursday, though a strong cold front arriving late Friday, February 6, could bring a windier, wetter stretch with thunderstorms and heavy downpours early next week.
Today Through Thursday
For now, it is classic fair-weather Honolulu. Mostly sunny afternoons are expected, with highs around 80 to 82°F on Wednesday, and light east to southeast breezes lingering through Thursday. Nighttime haze could creep in after midnight, with lows near 70°F, and the chance of measurable rain stays low through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
Coastal Alerts And Marine Outlook
The ocean is telling a different story. High Surf Warnings remain in effect for many exposed north and west facing shores, and Small Craft Advisories are up for several channels and windward waters, making swimming, shorebreaks and small-boat operations hazardous through Wednesday. A Coastal Flood Statement has also been in effect during recent peak tides, raising the risk of seawater overwash on low-lying roads and beaches. For more on that tide and surf setup, see our earlier high-tide coverage.
Weekend Outlook
The National Weather Service in Honolulu expects the front to move in late Friday night and then stall over the islands, pulling in colder air aloft and increasing instability. This setup could fuel organized thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday, with sustained northeast winds building to 20–30 mph and gusts reaching 30–35 mph from Sunday into Monday. Some storms could bring torrential rain and localized flooding, so residents are urged to monitor updated forecasts as the timing and intensity become clearer.
How To Prepare
Before the weather turns rough, secure loose outdoor furniture, move vehicles off low-lying shoreline streets during high tides, and steer clear of flooded roadways rather than trying to drive through them. Plan for extra travel time if roads turn wet or debris-strewn, and think twice about ocean outings this weekend until conditions are confirmed. Keep checking forecasts, and follow guidance from lifeguards and county officials if conditions deteriorate.
