Honolulu is in for one more muggy, showery day Thursday before a drier trade-wind pattern settles in this weekend. The city is expected to reach 86°F under mostly cloudy skies, with a 60% chance of rain and pockets of heavier showers.
Rain chances stay elevated through Thursday afternoon, and the forecast allows between three-quarters and 1 inch of new rain. Thursday night brings scattered showers, a 50% rain chance and another sticky low around 76°F, according to the National Weather Service.
Weekend Forecast Turns Sunny And Breezy
Friday should be a transition day, with scattered showers, mostly sunny breaks and a high near 86°F. By Saturday and Sunday, Honolulu is forecast to turn sunny, while northeast winds increase to 13 to 17 mph, with gusts up to 23 mph.
The deeper tropical moisture is expected to move west with Tropical Storm Nolo, allowing drier air and more comfortable humidity to return over the weekend. Forecasters are watching for nuisance flooding if heavier rain bands linger over one area, but no watches, warnings or advisories are posted in the latest forecast.
Early Next Week Keeps The Pattern Mostly Pleasant
Monday and Tuesday could start with scattered showers before turning mostly sunny, with highs near 86°F and lighter winds. Wednesday looks mainly sunny as well, though a few isolated afternoon showers could pop up.
