Flash Flood Watch
Alert:
…FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON…
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* Maui and the Big Island.
* Through this afternoon
* Strong trade winds and a persistent trough aloft will combine to
bring frequent heavy showers to windward portions of Maui and the
Big Island today. Increasing ground saturation from repeated heavy
rain bands will produce an increasing threat for flash flooding as
water levels in streams and rivers remain elevated.
* Flood prone roads and other low lying areas may be closed due to
elevated runoff and overflowing streams. Landslides may also occur
in areas with steep terrain.
Instructions: Be prepared to take action if a Flash Flood Warning is issued. If you experience heavy rain or rising waters, head to higher ground immediately. 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.
