Honolulu, HI – The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for all Hawaiian islands Saturday morning, warning residents of potential flash flooding through Sunday afternoon. This alert comes as unstable atmospheric conditions bring heavy rain, especially over windward areas, increasing the risk of dangerous flash floods.
The watch affects multiple regions, from Niihau to the Big Island, with forecasts indicating significant rainfall that could lead to flooding in low-lying areas. Roads prone to flooding may close, and urban locations could experience rapid runoff, raising the chance of property damage.
According to the National Weather Service, a low-pressure system will create unstable weather conditions, potentially triggering heavy showers and thunderstorms. Residents are advised to stay alert and monitor for updates, as flash flood warnings may follow if conditions worsen.
With flood-prone roads and streams at risk of overflowing, Hawaiian residents should prepare for potential evacuations or emergency actions as necessary.
