Patchy fog is expected to develop after midnight, and low temperatures will drop to around 60 degrees. Looking ahead, the week will see a slight warming trend, with temperatures reaching the mid-80s by Friday. Sun and clouds will continue to mix through the afternoon, accompanied by breezy conditions. Rain is not expected until Saturday afternoon, when a few showers may return to the forecast. Catastrophic flash flooding on Oahu forced more than 5,500 evacuations and pushed the 120-year-old Wahiawa Dam to dangerous levels on Friday. While the dam has since receded, evacuation orders remain in place due to the potential for additional rainfall. As crude oil prices have surged, the costs of refined products such as diesel and jet fuel have also risen sharply, creating pressure on various market sectors.#crude_oil_prices #lafayette_la #wahiawa_dam #oahu #dam
