Alert: Flash Flood Watch for Oahu, Kauai

Hawaii Independent Staff

HONOLULU—The National Weather Service in Honolulu announced a Flash Flood Watch through the afternoon of Friday, March 4 for Kauai and Oahu.

A Developing low pressure system west of the islands has drawn moist and unstable air from the tropics to Kauai County and Oahu today. A front associated with this low pressure system is expected to reach Kauai Friday, bringing possibly more heavy rainfall to the western islands.

Moist and unstable atmospheric conditions will persist, increasing the potential for localized heavy showers.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding, a very dangerous situation. Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should a Flash Flood Warning be issued.
