Honolulu gets one more mostly sunny Sunday before the forecast turns wetter. Highs will reach about 85 degrees, with trade winds gradually weakening Sunday into Monday and passing showers favoring windward and mountain areas overnight to early morning, but heavy rain and thunderstorms could become a concern by early next week.

Sunday Offers A Mostly Sunny Window

The forecast describes passing showers favoring windward and mountain areas overnight to early morning, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday starts mostly sunny, with a high near 85 and showers expected early. Rain chances increase Monday night.

Heavy Rain Potential Builds Tuesday Through Thursday

Tuesday through Thursday bring a threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms, with some rainfall potentially torrential.

The National Weather Service has also flagged the potential for heavy rain and flooding from late Monday night through Thursday in a Hydrologic Outlook. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Honolulu Sunday, but drivers, hikers and anyone planning outdoor activities should be ready for sudden downpours and reduced visibility later in the week.

Weekend Plans Are Still In Play

Sunday morning and early afternoon offer the best window for beach trips, errands and other outdoor plans.
