Honolulu gets one more mostly sunny weekend before the forecast takes a serious turn. Saturday should reach 85 degrees under bright skies, with moderate trade winds and a brief period of fresh northeast winds; a few morning showers are possible.
Sunny Weekend, Noticeable Trade Winds
Saturday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 74, while Sunday stays mostly sunny with a high around 85. Trade winds should gradually weaken Sunday into Monday, making for generally favorable conditions across Honolulu and nearby outdoor spots.
Monday should remain mostly sunny and reach about 85 degrees, but scattered showers become possible Monday night as tropical moisture starts moving in. That is a sharper update from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had already flagged a wetter pattern for next week.
Heavy Rain And Thunderstorms Take Over Midweek
Tuesday brings the major shift, with a threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Some storms could produce heavy rain, and the National Weather Service in Honolulu says the heaviest period may arrive from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday.
The threat of thunderstorms continues Wednesday. Storm chances remain high Thursday, when temperatures should reach about 84, before easing to scattered showers Friday.
What Honolulu Residents Should Know
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed, but forecasters are watching the potential for heavy rain, flash flooding and damaging winds in stronger storms. The greatest storm activity may set up somewhere between Oahu and the Big Island, although the exact location and timing could still change, according to the National Weather Service.
For Saturday beach plans, north-facing shores should see surf build through the afternoon and evening, reaching around seasonal levels tonight into Sunday. Honolulu residents can enjoy the calmer weekend, but it would be wise to keep rain gear handy and stay alert for updated forecasts before Tuesday.
