...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...The Big Island. * WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. The greatest risk for flash flooding is Friday night through Saturday. * 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... - Considerable flash flooding is possible beginning later today as a large and powerful kona storm northwest of the state draws deep tropical moisture northward across the islands. Persistent bands of heavy rain and thunderstorms may produce intense rainfall rates, leading to rapid rises in streams and flooding of roads and low-lying areas.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
