Flood Watch Extended Through Early Wednesday Morning
The National Weather Service says, “A Kona Low west of the state will continue to produce bands of heavy rain and thunderstorms across portions of the island chain through tonight, and possibly into Wednesday. While all islands could experience flooding rainfall, the greatest risk for flooding will be on Kauaʻi and Oʻahu, where soils are already saturated due to recent heavy rain.”
Hawai‘i Under Flash Flood Watch Through Tuesday
A Flash Flood Watch continues for entire state through Tuesday afternoon as a Kona Low forms west the islands tonight. The National Weather Service says, “Increased southeast to south winds, bands of heavy rainfall, and thunderstorms are expected. While all islands could experience flooding rainfall, Kauaʻi and Oʻahu will see the greatest risk.”
