HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – As gas prices decline across the U.S., gas prices in Hawaii are holding steady and at a lower average than last year.
It’s bringing some relief to drivers now paying a little less to fill up their tanks.
The national average gas price went two cents lower than last week to $3.36.
The statewide average cost for a gallon of regular unleaded currently stands at $4.65, according to AAA’s latest report.
These were the average prices for regular unleaded across the islands:
- Honolulu: $4.50 (16 cents lower than last year)
- Hilo: $4.84 (5 cents lower than last year)
- Kahului: $4.70 (11 cents lower than last year)
- Lihue: $5.25 (3 cents lower than last year)
Gas prices in Hawaii are still lower than they were in 2023.
This comes after industry experts predicted gas prices would drop this year after it skyrocketed to record highs last year.
Experts added that today’s falling gas prices could also be because fewer people are hitting the road.

Friday is a First Alert Weather Day as Gilma’s remnants bring chance for disruptive weather

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The Hawaii News Now weather team has marked Friday as a First Alert Weather Day as Gilma approaches the state, bringing more rain with light winds and higher humidity levels.
The impacts won’t be destructive, rather at times disruptive.
Current forecast trends have Gilma, though weakening, holding together as a tropical depression as it skirts west- northwest along the island chain.
At this time, the strongest winds are still expected to remain over the eastern coastal/offshore waters and winds along land areas and leeward coastal waters will actually weaken and take on a more southeasterly component Friday into Saturday.

These weaker winds may allow for shower coverage to expand across leeward portions of the state due to increased potential for sea breeze activity and increased moisture being routed around island terrain.
Timing of the heaviest rainfall is looking like it will be Thursday night through Saturday morning. Periods of heavier rain may pick up over the mountains.
Even though widespread flooding is not expected with current forecast rainfall totals in the 1 to 3 inch range, localized flooding could be possible.
Other than the potential for rain, moisture moving in as Gilma passes nearby will raise dew point temperatures by a few degrees, making it feel a bit muggier through the weekend.
If the system is more north, that will mean less rain for us and higher humidity. If it sags more south, closer to the islands, that will likely mean more rain.
Gilma is expected to weaken to a remnant low Thursday night and dissipate near Kauai on Saturday.
Following not too far behind Gilma was Tropical Storm Hector which has now dissipated. What’s left of it is expected on a westward track, and it should be a weak surface trough that could bring a slight increase in showers and more muggy weather sometime Saturday night into Sunday.
Stay tuned to the latest information on the Hawaii News Now Weather app.

Tropical systems Gilma and Hector have weakened but still pose threat to Hawaii
![Tropical systems Gilma and Hector have weakened but still pose threat to Hawaii Tropical systems Gilma and Hector have weakened but still pose threat to Hawaii](https://www.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/authoring-images/2024/08/29/USAT/74993347007-084343-5-day-cone-no-line-and-wind.png?auto=webp&crop=896,504,x0,y0&format=pjpg&width=1200)
Experts say this weekend could be a historic one for Hawaii, as the state has never had more than two tropical storm systems pass near the islands during previous hurricane seasons.
Gilma and Hector both pose tropical trouble for Hawaii
While the Atlantic Ocean remains calm in terms of tropical development, two separate tropical storms have Hawaii in their sights.
A pair of tropical systems are forecast to further lose strength as they approach the islands of Hawaii, lessening chances of dangerous weather conditions as the state faces a rare cluster of storms over Labor Day weekend.
Tropical Storm Gilma, the closer of the two storms, has weakened in recent days after it peaked in strength as a Category 3 hurricane last weekend. Federal forecasters project Gilma will be downgraded from a tropical storm on Thursday or Friday, when it’s expected to begin dumping rain over the islands.
Hector, formerly a tropical storm, dissipated early Thursday morning more than 1,000 miles from Hilo, Hawaii, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, which has released its final update about the storm. Cold water east of Hawaii is one of the main culprits causing the weakening.
On Friday, Gilma is forecast to track north of Hawaii, unleashing heavy rain and gusty showers, according to AccuWeather. Since the storm no longer has a strong eyewall, its impacts will be limited. However, the storm could still trigger flash floods and pose a potential threat of mudslides.
“One key point to consider even with a poorly organized tropical feature, such as a tropical rainstorm that passes just to the north of the islands, is that some of the south-facing slopes of the islands may get more rain than if a hurricane, such as Hone, was passing by to the south,” AccuWeather lead long-range meteorologist Paul Pastelok said.
In addition to dumping heavy rain over the islands, Gilma could alleviate drought conditions in some “hard-to-reach areas,” according to AccuWeather. Last week, Tropical Storm Hone lashed the Big Island with Hawaii as it passed to the south as a hurricane, causing flooding and knocking out power to thousands of homes and businesses. The storm also dumped enough rain to cause authorities to discontinue several wildfire red flag warnings.
Wildfire dangers are top of mind for Hawaiians, especially when strong storms pass offshore. Last year, the winds of Hurricane Dora, which stayed hundreds of miles off the coast of the Hawaii islands, contributed to the deadliest wildfires in the U.S. in over a century.
The Big Island is forecast to begin receiving thunderstorms and showers late Thursday and Friday before the storms spread over the other islands over the holiday weekend, AccuWeather said. Ahead of the rain, Gilma is expected to produce rough seas and strong surf along the coast.
Forecasters say Hector, now a tropical rainstorm, will unload more heavy rain and winds across Hawaii beginning Sunday and continuing into next week – starting just after Gilma moves away from the state. The rain could exacerbate any ongoing flooding as the storm passes either to the north of Hawaii or directly over the islands.
This weekend could be a historic one for Hawaii, as it has never had more than two tropical storm systems pass close to the islands during previous hurricane seasons, according to AccuWeather. Additionally, the last time two tropical systems storms hit the islands within a week was in September 1992.
