...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS FROM THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands.
* WHEN...From noon HST today through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Flood prone roads and other low lying areas may be
closed due to elevated runoff and overflowing streams. Urban areas

rapid runoff.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A front will stall over Maui County through the 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 this
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.
