Keep the umbrella handy into tomorrow morning because we continue to track a slightly wet trade wind pattern over mauka neighborhoods especially for the eastern islands. An area of low-lying moisture is bringing pop up showers, especially to our usual windward and mauka communities, but even leeward neighborhoods could see passing downpours. Some of the heavier showers may lead to ponding on roads so give yourself a little extra travel time during the morning commute.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=2895\">5 injured after tree falls onto vehicle on Hana Highway<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll still have scattered showers into Wednesday afternoon before drier air moves in. By Thursday and into the weekend, expect a return to our classic summer trade wind pattern with breezy conditions, plenty of sunshine, and showers mainly focused over windward and mauka areas.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re keeping a close eye on Hurricane Fausto out in the eastern Pacific, and right now there\u2019s still some uncertainty in exactly how close it may get to Hawai\u02bbi next week.<\/p>\n<p>The forecast models aren\u2019t in agreement just yet. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The European model brings Fausto noticeably closer to the islands, while the American GFS model takes it much farther to the north. The most likely track may end up somewhere between those two solutions, so we\u2019ll be watching every new model run closely.<\/p>\n<p>The encouraging news is that both of the latest model runs currently keep Fausto on the north side of the islands. That\u2019s a much better scenario than having a storm approach from the south. We\u2019ll also be watching where Fausto\u2019s right-front quadrant ends up in relation to Hawai\u02bbi. That\u2019s typically the strongest part of a tropical cyclone for winds, rough seas, and wave generation, so its position could make a big difference in any potential impacts. At least, weather models are showing that Fausto will likely be impacted by cooler waters with that north track and hopefully wind shear will take a toll on it. Hoping that it will just be a disruption to our trade winds. Again, as of now we don\u2019t have a clear picture of its final destination. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=2893\">With flood repairs nearly done, Hokulani Elementary seeks move-in help<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What does look increasingly likely is bigger surf. East-facing shores could see an increase in waves this weekend if Fausto stays strong enough, while a powerful Southern Hemisphere swell is expected to build Thursday into the weekend, bringing advisory-level surf to many south-facing beaches.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll continue to monitor Fausto around the clock and keep you updated as confidence in the forecast improves.<\/p>\n<p>View the latest weather conditions here.<\/p>\n<p><i>Download the HNN Weather app from the <\/i><i>Apple App Store<\/i><i> or <\/i><i>Google Play<\/i><i> for the latest updates from your First Alert Weather Team: chief meteorologist Jennifer Robbins, meteorologist Drew Davis, and weather anchors Guy Hagi, Ben Gutierrez, and Billy V. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=2891\">\u2018Tailgate with Timmy\u2019 UH football fundraiser grows in second year<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re keeping a close eye on Hurricane Fausto out in the eastern Pacific, and right now there\u2019s still some uncertainty in exactly how close it may get to Hawai\u02bbi next week.
