Puna Weather
Friday 17th January 2025
Today mostly dry with southerly winds, possibly gusty at times.
This evening and tonight winds turn to northerly with a period of scattered showers, possibly briefly heavy at times. Isolated thunder is also possible. Significant accumulation is not likely.
Saturday through Monday dry and cool with moderate northerly winds.
A front passed over Kauai and is heading our way today (1st graphic). Southerly flow in advance of the front is pretty dry and this is limiting shower potential today.
When the front passes overhead expect some dynamics and a few showers. Models show DCAPE near 600 J/kg which could allow for isolated heavy showers and possibly a clap or two of thunder.
Soon after the front passes off to our east late tonight dry northerly winds (2nd graphic) allow for nighttime cooling.
