SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Special Weather Statement
Alert:
Coastal flooding is possible over the next few days along all
shores of the Hawaiian Islands due to unusually high water levels.
The greatest potential for coastal flooding impacts will be
around the peak high tides, which will occur between midnight and
daybreak each day. These water levels combined with the potential
for heavy rainfall and moderate to strong southerly winds through
tonight could exacerbate flooding in these low-lying coastal
areas due to poor drainage.
Impacts of the higher than normal water levels may include flooding
of beaches that normally remain dry, salt water inundation of
typically vulnerable low-lying roads, docks, boat ramps, and other
coastal infrastructure. The potential for coastal flooding will
diminish by the end of the upcoming weekend as the peak daily
tides lower.
Visit the tides and currents website for more specific
information about forecast tides and water levels in your area.
