- An upper level trough moving in from the west will tap into a
more moist environment over the eastern half of the state. A
jet stream leading this trough will enhance periods of
moderate to locally heavy rainfall. The heaviest rainfall
amounts are forecast to fall along the windward slope of
Haleakala in East Maui.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flash
flooding. Flash Flooding is LIFE THREATENING. Do not cross fast
flowing water in your vehicle or on foot.
