    Hawaii Weather 3/9 Morning - Flood Watch
    Mar 9 2026
    Good morning. Hawaii. I'm Michael Mosby. Right now, it's 75 degrees and overcast statewide. The trades are hanging on, keeping things relatively dry. But that changes fast. A monster kona storm is spinning up northwest of the islands. We're talking central pressure near 990 millibars, winds over 100 knots aloft. This thing is going to flip our entire weather pattern starting Tuesday. Today stays calm. Oahu sees mostly sunny skies with a high near 81 degrees. Light east-southeast winds and just isolated showers. Tonight drops to 72 with haze. Over on the Big Island, expect scattered showers today with a high near 76. You've got a 60 percent chance of rain, especially along windward slopes. Tonight stays around 65 with those showers continuing. Maui gets the driest conditions — mostly sunny with haze, topping out at 82 degrees. Tonight dips to 66 with just isolated showers possible. But Tuesday night is when things get serious. Deep tropical moisture surges northward. Oahu and Kauai face the first wave — frequent showers and thunderstorms with rainfall rates that could produce flash flooding. Some storms may dump three-quarters to one inch of rain in a short window. By Wednesday, the entire state gets hammered. Here comes 1 to 2 inches of rain on Oahu, with thunderstorms capable of producing heavy downpours. This pattern locks in through the weekend — southerly winds gusting to 40 miles an hour, relentless rain. And a serious flash flood threat statewide. A Flood Watch is already in effect for Kauai starting Tuesday morning and Oahu by Tuesday evening. Charge your phones and fill up the gas tank before tonight. See you this afternoon.

    Hawaii Weather 3/8 Midday - Hydrologic Outlook
    Mar 8 2026
    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.

    Hawaii Weather 3/8 Morning - Hydrologic Outlook
    Mar 8 2026
    Good morning. Hawaii. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside and you'll feel those classic trade winds, steady at 13 miles an hour. It's 75 degrees statewide with scattered showers drifting through before sunrise. Here's your day. Oahu gets partly sunny skies with scattered showers wrapping up by mid-morning. You'll hit 82 degrees by noon. East winds gust to 22 miles an hour — enough to mess with your beach umbrella. Tonight drops to 72 degrees with more showers overnight. The Big Island sees cloudier conditions. Showers likely through the day, especially on windward slopes. Highs reach 76 degrees. Light southwest winds shift southeast by late morning. Tonight stays cloudy around 65 degrees with a 60 percent chance of showers. Maui gets the best deal today. Isolated showers taper off by noon, then mostly sunny skies take over. Highs hit 83 degrees. East-northeast winds blow 9 to 18 miles an hour, gusting to 65 miles an hour. Tonight cools to 65 degrees with isolated showers possible. Now here's the big story. A powerful low pressure system is deepening near the International Dateline right now. By Tuesday, dangerous weather moves in statewide. Heavy rain. Flooding potential. Strong thunderstorms. Gusty southerly winds reaching 35 miles an hour or more. This isn't your typical passing shower pattern. This system parks over the islands and lingers through the weekend. Flooding becomes increasingly likely as soils saturate and streams rise. Big Island summits could even see snow and ice. Monday stays quiet with lighter winds and scattered showers. But Tuesday through next weekend? Expect periods of heavy rain, embedded thunderstorms. And strong south winds. Monitor forecasts closely as this develops. See you this afternoon.
