- Considerable flash flooding is possible as a large and
powerful kona storm northwest of the state draws deep
tropical moisture across the islands. Persistent bands of
heavy rain and thunderstorms may produce intense rainfall
rates, leading to rapid rises in streams and flooding of
roads and low lying areas.
