Maya: Good morning, Kahului, and welcome to your Kahului Morning Briefing for Tuesday, October sixth, twenty twenty-six. I'm Maya.
Devon: And I'm Devon. It's five in the morning, the trade winds are doing their thing, and we've got a full slate for you today: the week ahead in weather, a quick harbor check, tonight's stars, what's happening around town, and the top local stories.
Maya: Let's start with the week ahead. Today, expect a high of eighty-two and an overnight low of seventy-five, with about a sixty-two percent chance of rain early in the day, easing off later. Winds around twelve miles an hour.
Devon: Wednesday turns into the hottest day of the week. High of ninety, low of seventy-five, rain chance dropping to thirty-nine percent, and very light winds at about five miles an hour. If you work outside, take water and shade with you.
Maya: Thursday is the wettest day of the stretch. High of eighty-eight, low of seventy-six, and an eighty-six percent chance of rain, some of it moderate. Winds around ten miles an hour. Plan indoor options for Thursday afternoon.
Devon: Friday warms down a bit: high of eighty-five, low of seventy-six, about a fifty-eight percent chance of showers, winds eight miles an hour.
Maya: The weekend looks friendlier. Saturday: high of eighty-three, low of seventy-five, rain chance down to thirty-seven percent, but the wind picks up to about seventeen miles an hour. Sunday: high of eighty-four, low of seventy-two, only a twenty-seven percent chance of rain, winds around fourteen miles an hour.
Devon: And Monday of next week comes back to typical Kahului weather: high of eighty-two, low of seventy-four, about a thirty-nine percent chance of rain, winds nine miles an hour. The takeaway: hot midweek, a soggy Thursday, and a nicer weekend.
Maya: Time for the coastal check. Waves are running about three feet today with water temperature around eighty-one degrees. Swell builds a little by Thursday, up to about four feet, so if you're launching from Kahului Harbor, Thursday's bumpier. Otherwise, a calm, comfortable week on the water.
Devon: Now, tonight's sky. Sunset is just after six, and true darkness settles in around seven twenty-two. The moon is a waning crescent at only seventeen percent illumination, and it doesn't rise until about two forty-one in the morning.
Maya: Which means the early evening sky is essentially moon-free. That's about as good as stargazing gets. Saturn will be your headline planet tonight, sitting high in the southeast, about fifty-four degrees above the horizon. Look for the ringed giant early after dark.
Devon: No International Space Station passes visible tonight, so just enjoy the dark sky. Get out of the town glow if you can, and you'll be rewarded.
Maya: On to arts and entertainment. Big concert week at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Tomorrow night, Wednesday, mentalist Matt Fraser takes the stage at the Castle Theater at seven thirty. The show is billed as a psychic medium experience, and Castle Theater seats have been selling.
Devon: Then Friday night, reggae band SOJA plays the A-and-B Amphitheater at seven. That's the outdoor venue, so expect that big lawn energy.
Maya: And mark your calendar further out: The Green plays the amphitheater on Friday, October twenty-third, and Steel Pulse follows on Saturday, October twenty-fourth. October is stacking up to be a reggae-heavy month at the MACC.
Devon: Now the local news. Story one: big golf news for Maui. The LPGA is moving the Lotte Championship to the Plantation Course at Kapalua next March, pairing it with the inaugural Nanea Cup on the Big Island as a two-tournament Hawaii swing.
Maya: This is a real comeback story for the course. The PGA ended its twenty-five-year relationship with Kapalua back in April after drought conditions forced the cancellation of the Sentry event this year. Now the LPGA steps in with a three-million-dollar purse and commissioner Craig Kessler saying venues with deep-rooted heritage like Kapalua are exactly what the tour is looking for.
Devon: Story two, and this one is tonight: the Central Maui community budget meeting. Residents get to tell the county what matters to them in the fiscal year twenty twenty-eight budget. It's tonight, Tuesday, from five to seven at the J. Walter Cameron Center auditorium in Wailuku.
Maya: This is one of eight budget meetings across Maui County, all hosted by Mayor Richard Bissen's administration. Written and verbal comments are accepted, and if you can't make it in person, the meetings stream on the County of Maui's Facebook page with no account required.
Devon: Story three: the Maui Fire Department is running wildland firefighting training this week, from today through Friday, in partnership with the Wildfire Conservancy. It's called Responding to the Interface, focused on the wildland-urban interface where brush fires meet neighborhoods.
Maya: And there's a public angle: tomorrow, Wednesday, there's a community outreach event from one to two thirty in the afternoon at the park next to the old Paia Gym on Baldwin Avenue. You'll get to observe the operational readiness exercise right after. The fire department, the Maui Emergency Management Agency, the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, and the county's environmental management team will all be there.
Devon: That's your Tuesday, Kahului. Hot midweek, rain Thursday, a great weekend, a big golf announcement, and your county budget meeting tonight.
Maya: Have a great morning, and we'll be back tomorrow at five. This has been your Kahului Morning Briefing. Mahalo for listening.
