...POWERFUL KONA STORM TO IMPACT THE STATE THIS WEEK...

A powerful kona storm will begin impacting the western end of the
state as early as Tuesday, then spread across the remainder of
the smaller islands by midweek and the Big Island towards the end
of the week. While flash flooding remains a major concern (see
the Flood Watch for additional details), confidence is increasing
that strong to severe thunderstorms may develop Wednesday into the
weekend. Damaging winds will likely be the primary hazard with
these storms, though large hail cannot be ruled out.

In addition to the heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorm threat,
strong and potentially damaging kona winds are possible late in
the week and into the weekend.
