Flood Watch
Issued: 1:06 AM Mar. 12, 2026 – National Weather Service
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...The Big Island.

* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. The greatest risk for flash
flooding is Friday night through Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Significant flooding may occur due to the 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...
- Considerable flash flooding is possible beginning later today
as a large and powerful kona storm northwest of the state
draws deep tropical moisture northward 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.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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