Cool and pleasant conditions will linger early this morning before quickly transitioning through the day today as winds shift out of the south-southeast ahead of a strengthening low approaching from the northwest. This strong winter low pressure system will pass just north of Kauai on Thursday, with a cold front advancing down the island chain Thursday through Friday. The threat of flash flooding, damaging south to southwest winds, and strong to severe thunderstorms will accompany the front. Conditions will quickly improve behind the front Friday night into the weekend, continuing through early next week.
