The National Weather Service reports an upper level disturbance will create unstable conditions across the state. A low level trough moving in from the north will combine forces with increasing northeasterly trade winds over island mountain ranges, producing periods of moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms across most of the state, according to the NWS.

The NWS forecast advises that 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.

The public should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
