Flood Watch issued February 6 at 4:03PM HST until February 9 at 6:00PM HST by NWS Honolulu HI
...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS FROM SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands.
* WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Flood prone roads and other low lying areas may be
closed due to elevated runoff and overflowing streams. Urban areas
may receive more significant flooding and property damage due to
rapid runoff.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A front will move southeast into Kauai late this afternoon or
evening, then through Oahu late tonight. The front will stall
over Maui County Saturday through this weekend, allowing deep
tropical moisture to pool over the island chain. This in
combination with a disturbance aloft moving over the state,
will bring the potential for heavy rainfall, a few
thunderstorms and flash flooding beginning Saturday afternoon
and continuing through Monday afternoon. The greatest risk
for flash flooding is expected in windward areas.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
