Puna Weather
Thursday 4th June 2026
Today and Friday moderate easterly trade winds with a fairly typical pattern of widely scattered showers during the day, increasing to scattered showers during the night and early morning hours.
Saturday and Sunday moderate easterly trade winds with only a few showers, mostly at night.
Surface high pressure to our north continues to maintain easterly trade flow over us into early next week. Upstream moisture is sufficient for windward showers through Friday, but this weekend the flow at 5,000' turns to east-northeast steering drier air our way.
Between us and Mexico is the first tropical storm of the season for the eastern Pacific basin. Although the Amanda is forecast to move generally westward, high shear and mid-level dry air along this path should degrade the storm into a remnant low before reaching the central Pacific area of interest 140W. Moisture from Amanda is likely to track by to our south.
