Alert: Flood Watch issued December 03 at 8:42AM HST until December 06 at 6:00AM HST by NWS Honolulu

…FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL ISLANDS THROUGH MONDAY…
…FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON…
* WHAT…Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE…All Hawaiian Islands
* WHEN…Through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS…Significant flooding may occur due to the overflow of
streams and drainages. Roads in several areas may be closed, along
with property damage in urban or low lying spots due to runoff.
Isolated highways, such as the Belt Highway in the Big Island`s
Kau District, and Piilani Highway on Maui, may be closed in one or
more locations, resulting in long detours or even the isolation of
communities. Landslides may also occur in areas with steep terrain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– A prolonged period of heavy rainfall is anticipated as a
slow-moving kona low develops west of Kauai, and moisture
associated with a front stalls over the islands. In the short
term, the stalling front will bring the greatest potential
for heavy rain over Maui and the Big Island. As the low forms
west of Kauai on Saturday, moisture associated with the front
will gradually spread back toward Oahu and Kauai County. This
will bring the threat of heavy rainfall to all islands well
into next week.

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 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.
