First Alert Forecast: Tracking a developing storm which could impact the state over the weekend

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A high pressure system far north of the Hawaiian Islands will keep moderate to locally breezy trade winds in the forecast.

A weak disturbance moving through the western islands will continue to produce some enhancement in the overnight showers through early Tuesday morning.

We’ve declared Saturday and Sunday as First Alert Weather Days.

Wind speeds may strengthen by the weekend as the potential for tropical cyclone activity increases near the Hawaii region.

Weather conditions will depend on the track and intensity of any tropical activity near the island chain.

The potential does exist for conditions to be quite windy by this weekend in addition to the potential for heavy rain.

A near advisory level south swell peaks today. A solid NW swell hits Wednesday. East shores will pick up Wednesday with the increasing winds. A Coastal Flood Statement has been extended through this afternoon.
