Weakening Gilma may bring rain to windward Maui

Gilma was downgraded to a tropical depression early this morning, but the system still has the potential for brining heavy rain to the islands tonight through Saturday – specifically over windward Maui and Hawaiʻi Island districts, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. The NWS reports that while localized flooding is possible, widespread flooding is not expected.
