Typical June weather for Father's Day weekend
HONOLULU (KHON2) – Rather typical June trade wind conditions are in place.
Broad high pressure north of the state is driving moderate to locally breezy trade winds, and a mid-level ridge overhead is producing very stable conditions with an inversion based between 5,000 and 6,500 ft.
As a result, modest showers of mostly a quarter of an inch or less have been focused along windward areas since less night, with the highest totals on the Big Island and Maui.
Expect minimal windward rainfall today, and aside from scattered afternoon and evening showers along the Kona slopes of the Big Island, leeward areas will be dry.
A weak upper-level low centered west of Kauai will send thin high clouds overhead but will otherwise have no impact on local weather today.
Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM HST Sunday for Maalaea Bay, Pailolo Channel, Alenuihaha Channel, Big Island Leeward Waters, Big Island Southeast Waters.

Officials celebrate as key reservoir fills up for first time in years — here's what's happening
A key reservoir in southern India is now at full capacity after a spell of badly needed heavy rainfall in the area. As Social News XYZ reports, Veeranam Lake reached a level of 47.5 feet, its highest level in years. The lake is a key water source for the city of Chennai and irrigation for the region's farmland. Veeranam is a man-made lake that was carved out of the land in the 10th century and takes its name from the title of a past ruler. The rise was attributed to unseasonal rainfall in the Tamil Nadu area. According to the India Meteorological Department, May 2025 was the wettest on record since 1901. The average rainfall across India was 126.7 mm (almost 5 inches), which is more than twice the historical average (61.4 mm, or 2.4 inches). The biggest departure from the norm was in central India, while the south received almost triple the usual level for that time of year. While this has been a welcome development for the south, the northeast has suffered from flooding, which has resulted in 34 fatalities so far, according to Reuters. For the Tamil Nadu region, the unseasonal rainfall will be a welcome boon for residents and farmers. Last year, the lake ran dry amid record-breaking heat waves, per Down to Earth. The additional water reserves will help sustain the area during the drier seasons, where temperatures can often top 100 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this relief is only temporary and symptomatic of the increased instances of unusual weather. While India has made significant strides in clean energy in recent years, it remains overly dependent on coal, the dirtiest of all energy sources, to meet its needs. The planet-heating pollution from sources like coal is contributing to more frequent and severe extreme weather events. Ultimately, a lake filling back up is a heartening development and a clarion call to build on that good fortune with practical local action and raising awareness of climate issues.

‘Never got it': Why didn't an alert go out before tornado touched down in Largo?
LARGO, Fla. (WFLA) — The National Weather Service said an EF-1 tornado touched down in Largo Wednesday. 'I have no idea whose house is blue and white,' Susan Haas said, pointing to a roof lying in her backyard. 'It's all gone': Largo residents cleaning up after tornado rips through neighborhoods Haas was in her home in the Bay Ranch Mobile Home Park Wednesday when, suddenly, her dog, Ollie, began violently shaking. She knew something was wrong. 'I looked outside, [and] I saw debris flying through the air,' Haas said. 'My daughter kind of freaked out.' 'I grabbed her and covered her with my body,' she continued. 'Everything kept flying by, there was nothing we could do, it was just too late.' The national weather service said, it was an EF-1 tornado with 90 mph wind speeds. While many Largo residents said it felt like forever, Science and Operations Officer Matt Anderson said the tornado touched down for six to seven minutes and tracked for just over two miles. 'A lot of times, these boundary collisions really don't mean too much, not too much develops,' he explained. 'In this case, there must have been some additional low-level spin in the atmosphere that the boundaries were able to stretch and develop into a tornado.' Haas and many of her neighbors asked the same question Thursday: Why weren't they alerted? 'Never got it on the phone,' Haas said. 'It was just that fast.' Anderson agreed, saying by the time they saw it on radar, it was too late. 'The radar didn't pick it up just because the circulation was incredibly shallow,' he explained. 'We were able to pick up the rotation on the radar located at MacDill Airforce Base, but by the time we saw that circulation, it was already gone.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
