...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT HST TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for Maui and the Big Island.
* From midnight HST tonight through Friday afternoon.
* An upper level low approaching the islands from the northeast
will bring an unstable airmass to Maui and the Big Island. High
pressure to the northeast will maintain a trade wind surface
flow, focusing the heaviest of rain along windward areas.
However the strong trade winds and the unstable airmass will
allow for showers and thunderstorms to form over additional
areas of Maui and the Big Island. The upper level low is
expected to linger near these areas through the end of the week.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
