Flood Watch
Issued: 1:18 PM Apr. 8, 2026 – National Weather Service
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...All Hawaiian Islands.

* WHEN...Through Friday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Significant flooding may occur due to excessive rainfall
and overflow of streams and drainages. Roads in several areas may
be closed, along with property damage in urban or low lying spots
due to runoff. Landslides may also occur in areas with steep
terrain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Low pressure developing west of the islands will draw
abundant moisture northward as it strengthens during the next
couple of days. This will bring potential for heavy rain and
thunderstorms leading to flash flooding over all Hawaiian
islands.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
