Flood Watch issued May 15 at 4:11AM HST until May 17 at 8:00PM HST by NWS Honolulu HI
...FLOOD WATCH FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands.
* WHEN...Through Friday evening.
* IMPACTS...Significant flooding may occur due to the overflow of
streams and drainages. Roads in several areas may be closed, along
with property damage in urban or low lying spots due to runoff.
Landslides may also occur in areas with steep terrain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A kona low developing to our north will bring the potential
for heavy rain and thunderstorms over the Aloha State today
through at least Friday. The highest chance for excessive
rainfall appears to be over Oahu and possibly Maui county
starting tonight, and persisting through Thursday. The focus
for heavy rainfall then likely shifts toward Kauai on Friday.
However, these details could change, and all areas should be
prepared for the possibility of flash flooding.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
Remember that it does not have to be raining at your location for
flash flooding to occur. If you notice signs of heavy rain or
thunderstorms upslope, move quickly away from flood prone areas.
