Mostly Dry Trade Winds Expected as Tropical Storm Norbert Weakens
US · Published Sep 14, 2026
Trade wind weather is expected to dominate the Hawaiian Islands in the early part of the week, with only light windward showers anticipated.
Tropical Storm Norbert, currently weakening to the east, is forecast to transition into a post-tropical low by Tuesday and pass south of the islands.

Impact & Risks

The remnants of Tropical Storm Norbert could bring increased rainfall and humidity to the Hawaiian Islands, particularly from Wednesday night through Friday night. The combination of tropical moisture and a trough may result in localized flooding, posing risks to low-lying and flood-prone areas. Surf along south-facing shores is expected to remain moderate, while east-facing shores may see an increase in wave activity due to stronger trade winds and a swell generated by Norbert. Residents and visitors should remain cautious, especially in areas prone to flooding or hazardous surf conditions.
