A rain-packed weather front approaching Hawaii promises heavy rain and possible thunderstorms for the western islands from late Saturday through early next week, forecasters said.
The National Weather Service in Honolulu today issued a flood watch for Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau from late Saturday night through late Monday night.
“The potential for locally heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms will increase across the western end of the state as a front approaches from the northwest on Saturday, then stalls Sunday and Monday,” forecasters said.
They warned that flood-prone roads and low-lying areas may be closed due to elevated runoff and overflowing streams. “Urban areas may receive more significant flooding and property damage due to rapid runoff,” according to the flood watch.
The weather service noted that rainfall will be limited today and early Saturday, but a “stronger, moisture-laden front” will bring “enhanced showers and possible thunderstorms” to the western end of the state Sunday through Tuesday.
