Honolulu is heading into a great weekend with warm temperatures and plenty of indoor literary mysteries to explore.

Sunday evening also promises a rare look at the International Space Station passing over the islands.
Expect consistent light drizzle throughout the weekend with temperatures averaging a warm 83 degrees. The best time to head outside is Sunday during the late afternoon, which promises clearer skies and pleasant conditions.
