...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands. * WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Flood prone roads and other 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. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A front will move southeast into Kauai late this afternoon, then through Oahu and into Maui County tonight. The front will stall over Maui County this weekend, allowing deep tropical moisture to pool over the island chain. This in combination with a disturbance aloft moving over the state, will bring the potential for heavy rainfall, a few thunderstorms and flash flooding beginning Saturday afternoon and continuing through Monday afternoon. The greatest risk for flash flooding is expected in windward areas.

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