#hail maui

Heavy pockets of rain reported over several different areas of Maui prompted a flood advisory from the National Weather Service that will remain in effect until 4 p.m., but may need to be extended longer if heavy rains persist.

“In addition to frequent lightning and intense rainfall, severe thunderstorms are capable of producing damaging winds and hail the size of quarters or larger,” the forecast stated.

Quarter inch size hail fell over parts of Olinda at around 3 p.m., according to a prelimary storm report.
