The eastern parts of Hawaii, particularly the Big Island, could face heavy rainfall and isolated thunderstorms later this week, increasing the risk of localized flooding. Breezy trade winds may cause moderate low-level turbulence, especially downwind of island terrain. Surf conditions along south-facing shores will remain elevated, posing potential risks for beachgoers and small watercraft. A Small Craft Advisory is in place for windy channels and waters around Maui County and the Big Island until Tuesday morning. While fire weather risk remains low, the potential for tropical development adds uncertainty to the forecast (Big Island Now, 2026).
