AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

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.

- 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.
