KAUAI COUNTY...

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall remains
possible.

* WHERE...Kauai, Niihau and Oahu.

* WHEN...Through this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Rain events of this size can cause catastrophic flooding
and affect areas that do not usually flood. Low spots in roads
will become dangerous and impassable due to severe runoff. Debris in
streams and gulches may clog bridges and culverts resulting in
dangerous flooding. Numerous landslides are expected in areas with
steep terrain. Additional heavy rainfall on Oahu could cause
severe flooding impacts, as six to ten inches of rain has fallen
over the entire island since Monday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Periods of heavy rainfall will continue across Oahu and Kauai
County as a kona low pulls deep tropical moisture over the
western end of the island chain.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be prepared to take action if a Flash Flood Warning is issued. If
you experience heavy rain or rising waters, head to higher ground
immediately.

A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flash
flooding. Flash Flooding is LIFE THREATENING. Do not cross fast
flowing water in your vehicle or on foot.
