…HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE FROM THURSDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND…
A low pressure system is forecast to develop west of the islands
later this week, bringing the potential for widespread heavy
rainfall. The duration and intensity of the rainfall will bring the
potential for flooding impacts as early as Thursday, with the heavy
rain threat continuing into the weekend. Soil moisture is already
elevated from recent heavy rains, increasing the potential for heavy
rain to lead to runoff.
It is too soon to know expected rainfall amounts or where the
heaviest rain will fall, but leeward areas are just as likely to see
heavy rain as are windward areas.
Keep up to date with the latest forecast information through the
Internet (weather.gov/hfo), local media, social media, or NOAA
Weather Radio broadcasts.
An updated outlook will be issued by 6 AM HST Tuesday or sooner if
necessary.
