Puna Weather
Sunday 20th October 2024
Ridging aloft keeps showers down to a minimal level today through mid-week. Heading into the weekend an upper level trough deepens to our north (1st chart) helping to lift and weaken our inversion for scattered showers Friday through Monday.
Winds light to moderate and mostly from the northeast through the period.
Into the long range Nadine is crossing from the Caribbean into the eastern Pacific as a dissipated low. The storms remnants are forecast to reform into a cyclone sometime in the next few days. It is possible for light shear and warm seas to allow this storm to develop into a hurricane while still in the eastern Pacific.
If a storm does develop (2nd chart), it is forecast to encounter substantial shear when entering the central Pacific basin (3rd chart). Given the environment there is very little risk to us, but some of the remnant moisture could reach our shores in a couple of weeks.
