...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MAUI AND THE BIG ISLAND THURSDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY...
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...
The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for Maui and the Big Island.
* From Thursday morning through Saturday evening
* An unstable airmass will move over the islands during the second
half of the week bringing an increase in shower activity. While
showers will be possible over most areas, the most susceptible
to flooding will be windward areas which have already received
rain this week.
* The extended period of rain could cause flooding in low spots
which could make some roadways impassable. Debris in streams and
gulches may clog bridges and culverts. Strong winds may cause
tree branches to fall which will add to the amount of possible
debris.
Instructions:
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flash flooding. Flash flooding is LIFE THREATENING. Do not cross fast flowing water in your vehicle or on foot. Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action if a Flash Flood Warning is issued. If you experience heavy rain or rising water, head to higher ground immediately.
