About this listen

 Good afternoon. Hawaii. I'm Matt Mullins. Step outside right now and you'll feel 75 degrees wrapping around you like a warm hug. Mainly clear skies across the islands. But a monster storm is spinning near the International Date Line. And it's about to crash our party midweek. Today? Trade winds keep things classic. Oahu sits at 82 degrees with scattered showers this morning — about a 30 percent shot. East winds gusting to 22 miles an hour. Tonight cools to 72 with those showers sticking around. The Big Island gets the cloudiest conditions. High of 76 with rain showers likely throughout the day. Southeast winds stay gentle, barely reaching 8 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 65 with a 60 percent chance of showers continuing. Maui steals the show today. Mostly sunny with isolated showers before noon, then hitting 83 degrees. East northeast winds gusting to 25. Tonight cools to 65 under mostly cloudy skies. Now here's where things get serious. That low pressure system I mentioned? It's bringing dangerous impacts starting Tuesday. We're talking 4 to 12 inches of rain through Saturday — some spots could see more. Flooding becomes a real threat by midweek as the ground saturates. Southerly winds strengthen to damaging levels Friday through Sunday, with gusts potentially strong enough to snap branches and knock out power. Strong thunderstorms will pack dangerous lightning and damaging winds. Big Island summits? Snow and ice with strong winds will close observatory access. This is a multi-day severe weather event. Clear your storm drains today. Secure loose outdoor items. Stock up on essentials now. See you this evening.
