AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Niihau and Kauai.
* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. The greatest risk for flash
flooding is Thursday night through Friday.
* 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 remains possible 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.

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