Forecasters: Wind chill will make temperatures feel cooler

Expect cool temperatures and partly sunny to partly cloudy conditions, with breezy tradewinds to continue for the next several days. 

The National Weather Service says a cold front which brought a few showers to the state Monday has dissipated south of the Big Island. But it left cooler weather and north winds in its wake.

Hilo set a record low temperature Monday for the date.

The low of 62 degrees at the Hilo airport tied a record last set in 1983.

Overnight, Oahu was the warmest island with a low of 70 degrees. Other islands had low temperatures ranging from 63 at Lihue Airport to 69 at Kona and Hilo airports.

The forecast for Honolulu and south shores of Oahu calls for a high of about 75 to 82 degrees Tuesday and lows in the 60s Tuesday night.

Wednesday through the weekend will be slightly warmer with lows getting into the low 70s and highs into the mid-80s.

But the weather will still feel cooler, because of wind chill from the tradewinds, said National Weather Service meteorologist Henry Lau.

“It (the wind) will be enough where some of us will feel a little bit cooler,” Lau said.

The north winds Tuesday morning will shift to breezy tradewinds from the northeast of 15 to 20 mph, with higher gusts, by Wednesday, with slightly stronger tradewinds expected on Thanksgiving day through the weekend.

Cool, mostly dry weather is expected through Thanksgiving, although there could still be a few windward and mauka showers and isolated leeward showers at night.

The forecast for Thanksgiving calls breezy, partly sunny to partly cloudy weather and mostly dry conditions.

Highs of 81 to 86 are expected with temperatures dropping to 69 to 74 degrees overnight.
