Hawaiian Islands weather details & Aloha paragraphs

Our local weather will generally be just fine, with clear cool mornings giving way to cloudy afternoons over and around the mountains. Island skies will be quite sunny in most areas during the morning hours, especially along the resort filled leeward beaches. Those afternoon convective clouds won’t be dropping much rain however, as a low and fairly strong inversion layer remains in place. There may be some weather changes later in the new week ahead, although exactly how they will manifest is still uncertain at this time. I still don’t see any significant rainfall looming on our weather horizon at this time…stay tuned.

It’s Saturday evening here in the islands, as I begin updating this last paragraph of today’s narrative.  As mentioned in the two paragaphs above, we have pretty smooth sailing coming up through the next week or so…in terms of our weather here in Hawaii. The fact that we’ll have a high pressure ridge over the Kauai end of the state, will help keep our overlying atmosphere stable, which in turn limits the amount and coverage of any showers that might try to fall on us. At the same time, we’ll see warmer weather in general during the days, while the nights will actually be cooler. ~~~ Friday evening after work I went to see the new film Juno. Juno is a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs. I found this film to be quite entertaining, and despite the fact that it was a little out of the league of films that I am usually drawn to, it worked, and turned out to be quite a smart piece of work! Here’s a trailer for this highly rated film. ~~~ I spent the better part of Saturday in Haiku, over on the windward side of east Maui. I had a haircut to get, and then visited with a friend who lives in northern California, and also has property here on Maui. It brought back memories of living in Haiku for 11 years of my life, which were mostly good ones. I stopped by Mana Foods in Paia for some shopping, and then again at the health food store in Makawao, on the way home to Kula. It’s cloudy up here at the 3,000+ foot elevation at sunset, and quite a bit cooler than down in the lowlands below. ~~~ I’ll be back Sunday morning with the next updated weather narrative. I hope you have a great Saturday night wherever you happen to be spending it! Aloha for now…Glenn.
