Honolulu is waking up Tuesday, September 22, with partly cloudy skies and isolated showers possible, but the calm-looking morning will not last. The city is headed for an afternoon high near 88 degrees. East-northeast winds will run 14 to 17 mph, with gusts up to 24 mph.
Sunny Tuesday Gives Way To Stronger Trades
Passing showers should remain limited Tuesday, with about a 20% chance of rain across Honolulu. The National Weather Service Honolulu expects winds to strengthen through the week, bringing a breezier feel to exposed roads, beaches and outdoor events.
Wednesday will stay mostly sunny with a high near 87 degrees, but trade winds may weaken slightly by midweek. Wednesday night will turn mostly cloudy, with isolated showers possible after midnight and a low near 77.
Thursday Through Saturday Gets Windier And Wetter
Thursday brings isolated showers, a high near 84 and windy conditions. Friday looks windy, with occasional showers, a notable change from Monday's Hoodline forecast.
Saturday currently looks partly sunny for Honolulu, with occasional showers and strong winds, while Sunday and Monday should remain mostly sunny with highs near 87.
Tropical Disturbance Adds Uncertainty
The latest National Hurricane Center outlook gives the disturbance a 70 percent chance of formation over the next 48 hours. The greatest heavy-rain concern is currently focused on windward and southeastern parts of the Big Island, but the system could also help drive stronger winds and more moisture across the state.
For Honolulu residents, the practical takeaway is a hot Tuesday followed by a steadily windier forecast and a wetter late-week setup. Secure loose outdoor items, use extra caution near exposed beaches and roads, and check the latest forecast before making plans for Thursday through Saturday.
