Honolulu is facing a wetter, windier pattern Thursday as conditions take over Oʻahu. Scattered showers are expected through the day, temperatures could reach 87°F, and conditions may turn stormier after dark.
Flood Watch Covers Thursday’s Downpours
An earlier forecast puts the chance of rain at 60% Thursday. The National Weather Service Honolulu forecast calls for east-northeast winds of 15 to 20 mph, with rain possible and heavier showers most likely on windward and mauka slopes, according to the National Weather Service Honolulu.
A Flood Watch covers all the main Hawaiian Islands through late Thursday night, with heavy rain possible. Thursday night brings a 50% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, some capable of producing especially heavy bursts, so drivers should not attempt to cross flooded roadways.
Friday Brings More Sun, Fewer Showers
Friday should bring a high near 86°F, though scattered showers remain possible as moisture tied to Norbert’s remnants moves west.
The latest forecast is a substantive update to Hoodline’s earlier outlook, which anticipated a wetter Thursday but did not yet include the current Flood Watch. Residents heading out Thursday should plan for a more serious rain risk than a routine passing shower.
Weekend Stays Breezy And Mostly Drier
Saturday through Monday look quieter, with highs near 87°F and scattered showers, mainly overnight or before noon. Moderate to locally strong trades will continue, so beach and outdoor plans may be breezy even when skies brighten.
Another increase in shower activity is possible Tuesday and Wednesday as moisture from the remnants of Tropical Depression 15-E approaches, but forecasters say confidence is still low. For now, the near-term message is simple: keep rain gear close Thursday, then expect a drier but windy weekend.
