EARLIER TODAY

Wet weather is expected to continue across Hawaii this week, forecasters said, as a slow-moving front northwest of Kauai continues to move through the isles.

The National Weather Service has also issued a flash flood watch for Oahu and Kauai County, which remains in effect through Thursday afternoon, but may need to be expanded to other isles later.

Tropical moisture and layered clouds are expected to move north over local skies, bringing the threat of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall during the second half of the week.

As rain fell over the western side of the state on Monday, a light dusting of snow atop Mauna Kea was captured by the webcams at Mauna Kea Weather Center.

Today’s forecast includes showers, which can be heavy at times, and a slight chance of thunderstorms for most isles, particularly for Oahu and Maui County.

Highs today range from 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and lows tonight from 69 to 74. Variable winds range up to 15 mph, but no higher, through the rest of the week.

Surf will remain below advisory levels on all sides as a current, northwest swell continues to diminish through Wednesday.

Surf on north shores at 5 to 7 feet this morning is expected to lower to 3 to 5 feet Wednesday. Surf on west shores at 3 to 5 feet today is expected to lower to 1 to 3 feet on Wednesday.

Surf on south and east shores will remain at 1 to 3 feet, and 3 to 5 feet, respectively, through Wednesday evening.

Weather officials say bands of clouds and showers wrapping around an upper low lingering north of the islands the second half of the week will “keep variable winds and weather in the forecast, and trade winds absent.”

There could be periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms coming in the next few days, but forecasters say there is significant uncertainty where and when they will occur, so the public should “be prepared for changes to the forecast over the coming days.”
