Puna Weather
Tuesday 3rd March 2026
Today and Wednesday moderate to breezy easterly trade winds with scatterd showers, mostly during the night and early morning hours.
Thursday through Sunday moderate east or east-southeast winds with only widely scattered showers.
An upper level ridge over the western states will help to maintain a massive surface high to our northeast for the next week (250mb chart). This will keep moderate to breezy easterly trade winds in our forecast through the period (surface chart). This flow initially supports scattered windward showers, but upstream moisture dries up by Thursday for only widely scattered showers Thursday through the upcoming weekend.
Our next potential weather maker is a jet stream trough forecast to dive south over the central Pacific in 8-10 days (200mb chart and 700-300mb moisture chart). If this pans out, we can expect deep tropical moisture to be drawn north and over us.
