Puna Weather
Tuesday 21st January 2025
Today and early Wednesday mostly dry with light to moderate southerly winds.
Wednesday afternoon/evening gusty north winds and some brief heavier showers.
Thursday into the upcoming weekend typical scattered windward showers, mostly during the night and early morning hours. Winds light and mostly from the south.
A front moves over us late Wednesday, but winds turn back to light and mostly from the south by Thursday continuing the threat of vog for much of windward Hawaii island.
An upper level trough passes through the region on Thursday (1st graphic), leaving a mid-level cold pool in it's wake (2nd graphic). This helps to weaken and lower our inversion for thicker clouds and better shower coverage.
Long range models show a generally wetter period ahead beginning Thursday.
