Weather Alert in Hawaii
WEATHER ALERT: Reposting from Stolen Stuff Hawaii NWS Hawaii Weather Radar Loop, 12:24 PM HST, 5/22/2026 This is a Stolen Stuff Hawaii summary based on National Weather Service data, not an official NWS forecast. WIND AND HIGH SURF ADVISORIES IN EFFECT FOR HAWAIIAN ISLANDS The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for parts of Maui County and the Big Island, including areas like Lanai Mauka, Kahoolawe, and Kohala. This advisory is in effect until 6:00 PM today. Residents in these areas should expect breezy to locally windy conditions, which may affect driving and outdoor activities. A High Surf Advisory is also in place for several regions, including Kauai North, East Honolulu, and Big Island Southeast, lasting until 6:00 PM tomorrow. Those near affected shorelines should exercise caution due to elevated surf conditions. Avoid swimming in rough waters and be mindful of potential coastal impacts. Trade winds remain strong across the islands, driven by a high-pressure system north of Hawaii. These winds are expected to weaken slightly over the weekend but will continue at moderate levels into next week. Showers will primarily affect windward and mauka areas, with leeward regions seeing less rainfall. Mariners should note that a Small Craft Advisory is in effect for all Hawaiian Coastal Waters due to strong winds. Conditions are expected to remain challenging through early Sunday morning. Stay informed and follow updates from the National Weather Service for the latest information on weather conditions in your area. During times of inclement weather, Stolen Stuff Hawaii will continue sharing radar loops for updates. Stay alert, avoid flooded roadways, and monitor conditions closely. #hawaii #weather #alert #highsurf #wind
