Affected Area

Big Island East

Description

...POWERFUL KONA STORM TO IMPACT THE STATE THIS WEEK... A powerful kona storm will impact the western end of the state tonight, then spread across the remainder of the smaller islands by midweek and the Big Island towards the end of the week. While flash flooding remains a major concern (see the Flood Watch 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.

Description

WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. WHERE...The Big Island. WHEN...From Wednesday evening through Saturday afternoon.

Landslides may also occur in areas with steep terrain. ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Considerable flash flooding is possible beginning late Wednesday as a large and powerful kona storm develops northwest of the state and draws deep tropical moisture across the islands.

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