- A surface trough near the island of Maui continues to blanket
the Hawaiian Islands in deep unstable tropical moisture
through Monday. An upper level low just west of the islands
and windy trade winds will produce periods of heavy rain, a

Monday afternoon. The highest threat for flash flooding will
remain along the windward slopes of each island potentially
driven by terrain anchored heavy showers.
