Flood Watch issued January 4 at 3:09PM HST until January 5 at 6:00PM HST by NWS Honolulu HI
...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR ALL HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS...
* WHAT...The possibility of flash flooding caused by excessive
rainfall.
* WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands.
* WHEN...Through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...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. Significant flooding may occur due to the overflow
of streams and drainages. Landslides may also occur in areas with
steep terrain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A kona low north of Kauai will move generally south today and
Monday, remaining close to the west end of the state. It will
then move west and weaken Wednesday into Thursday.
Deep moisture within an increasingly unstable environment
will remain across all islands. Expect periods of moderate to
locally heavy rainfall and isolated thunderstorms. For Big
Island and Maui County, the greatest flood risk remains along
southeast facing mountain slopes as southerly flow more
efficiently lifts rich moisture up these slopes.
Lingering instability over some islands may extend the timing
of this Flood Watch into Tuesday.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
