...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 island chain by midweek. While flash flooding remains a major
concern (see the Flood Watch and Hydrologic Outlook 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.
