Flash Flood Watch
Alert:
…FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT FOR
MAUI AND THE BIG ISLAND…

.Moisture associated with Tropical Cyclone Flossie moving into
the islands from the east, along with an upper level trough just
northwest of the state, will provide the ingredients for heavy
rainfall and possible flooding issues for Maui and the Big Island
through late tonight. As the moisture moves westward, the Flash
Flood Watch may need to be expanded to other islands as well.

…FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT…
The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Maui and the Big Island.

* Through late tonight

* Deep tropical moisture and instability from Flossie will produce
periods of heavy showers today and tonight over the eastern half
of the state as Tropical Cyclone Flossie passes just north of
both islands.
