* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands. * WHEN...Through this afternoon. * IMPACTS...Flood prone roads and other low lying areas may be closed due to elevated runoff and overflowing streams. Urban areas may receive more significant flooding and property damage due to rapid runoff. Significant flooding may occur due to the overflow of streams and drainages.

Expect periods of moderate to locally heavy rainfall and isolated thunderstorms. The greatest flood risk will remain for Kauai County and along southeast facing mountain slopes of the Big Island and Maui County which may warrant the extension of the Flood Watch or portions of that state later today. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. &&
