Viewer Video: Hail Falls on Big Island

Storms in East Hawai‘i brought pea-sized hail to Pāhoa.

Harry Durgin captured video of hail falling at around 2:15 p.m. at the Puna Kai Shopping Center.

Durgin posted the video on the Puna Weather Facebook page. A comment from one resident indicated this weather event was a first for Pāhoa in their 40 years of living on the Big Island.

Durgin also photographed a piece of hail that measured nearly an inch in size.

A passing storm has brought colder temperatures, high surf, rain and wind to the Hawaiian Islands. As of 3:35 p.m., the National Weather Service canceled a high surf warning in Kauai, with high surf advisory now in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday.

According to NWS, surf of 15-20 feet is expected Friday evening, lowering to 12-16 feen early Saturday morning for the north-facing shores.

For west-facing shores, surf is expected to be 10-15 feet Friday and lowering to 8-12 feet on Saturday.

If you’re headed to the ocean this weekend, be safe and don’t turn your back on the waves.
