🚨 WINTER STORM WARNING - Hawaii Weather 3/22 - Evening
·2 min
The episode opens with host Aaron Jolly announcing active weather across the Hawaiian Islands on Sunday evening. A winter storm warning remains for Big Island summits, and flood watches cover parts of Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. Temperatures started at 72 degrees early and will reach 79 degrees by noon. Rain chances increase significantly from 20% at 5pm to over 40% around midnight. The heaviest rain arrives overnight and continues through Monday morning, tapering off by 11am. Winds shift from east-northeast at 10mph to north-northwest near 11pm, strengthening Monday afternoon with gusts to 18mph by 2pm. Conditions vary across islands: Oahu faces flood threats with heavy rain and thunderstorms. The Big Island deals with summit snow and lowland flooding simultaneously. Maui County is under a flood watch with similar rainfall timing. The moisture band extends from Oahu's southeast through the Big Island, leaving Kauai and Molokai drier. This pattern impacts Monday morning commutes statewide, requiring extra travel time for ponding roads. Mountain roads on the Big Island may close due to snow accumulation. Listeners should secure loose outdoor items like patio furniture before winds increase. Hiking plans near streams and summit areas should be postponed. The episode concludes with a reminder of the next forecast tomorrow morning and a request for feedback.
