Special Weather Statement issued June 14 at 7:36AM HST by NWS Honolulu HI

Effective: Sun June 14, 2026, 7:36 AM
Expires: Mon June 15, 2026, 12:00 AM

WHAT...An episodic fountaining eruption is expected within the Kilauea summit caldera. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has indicated a potential eruption window between now and June 16th. Fountaining episodes typically last less than 12 hours but ash can remain in the air longer depending on wind and weather. IMPACTS...If an eruption occurs, varying levels of ash, Pele's hair, and other lightweight tephra may fall downwind of the eruption. Smaller particles can travel farther from the eruption site and may affect communities at greater distances.

If you live downwind of the Kilauea summit, or plan to visit the summit area, stay informed about current volcanic activity and weather conditions. Be prepared to take precautions if needed, such as disconnecting water catchment systems. Follow all guidance from the National Park Service and the County of Hawaii. Be aware that road or park closures may occur. This statement will be issued daily and updated as needed.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES OF ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING AND COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDE THROUGH TUESDAY... .A long-period south southwest (200 degree) swell will fill in today and peak tonight into Monday before gradually declining through the rest of the week. Surf along south-facing shores will be at high-end advisory level today, with potential to approach warning levels tonight during the peak of this event. King Tides, or the highest monthly tides, are running higher than predicted and will lead to minor flooding along all shorelines and in low-lying coastal areas, especially during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Areas exposed to the high tides and large surf will experience more widespread coastal flooding and wave runup. * WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, surf of 10 to 14 feet. For the Coastal Flood Statement, minor coastal flooding. * WHERE...South facing shores of all Hawaiian Islands. Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat ramps and other coastal infrastructure. * WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 AM HST Tuesday. For the Coastal Flood Statement, through Tuesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Moderate to high. Strong breaking waves and strong currents will make swimming dangerous. Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The combination of the south-southwest swell and King Tides over the next couple of days will result in more widespread coastal shore impacts, particularly during the afternoon and evening peak daily tide.

Heed all advice from ocean safety officials. When in doubt, don't go out. Do not drive through flooded roadways. Owners of properties in low-lying shoreline areas or near waterways should consider moving any electronics, vehicles, or other valuables to higher ground. Boaters should monitor vessels to ensure mooring lines don't get too tight and be aware of overwash around boat ramps at high tide. Any recreational watercraft on beaches, such as canoes, should be secured or moved.

Lava fountaining from Kilauea eruption episode 49 started this morning at 9:36 AM HST. The latest radar imagery shows the highest detectable ashfall (tephra) from the lava fountaining is currently rising to around 10,000 feet above ground level this morning. Low level trade winds continue to push the ashfall particles toward the southwest direction on radar, and any additional ash from this eruption will likely fall near the Kilauea eruption source and over portions of the Kau District immediately southwest of Halemaumau Crater. Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra precaution to minimize exposure.
