FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY: Emergency management reported widespread life-threatening flash flooding effects continuing across northern Oahu, particularly in the Haleiwa and Waialua areas. Although rainfall rates have temporarily decreased, significant runoff continues to produce high water levels, including the Wahiawa Reservoir which continues to rise. Additional bands of heavy rainfall moving in from the southwest will continue over the area throughout the day, which could lead to renewed rises in water levels and worsening flooding conditions. The Wahiawa Reservoir (Lake Wilson) remains elevated, with water levels continuing to rise from runoff, despite a break in the heavy rainfall. Additional rises in this reservoir could further exacerbate downstream flooding along the streams, particularly near Otake Camp in Waialua. For the windward side of Oahu, periods of heavy showers will continue to develop and move through, with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. Water levels in the streams remain high, especially in the Waiahole, Waikane, and Kahana streams. Runoff impacting vulnerable low lying areas and roads will continue through the morning hours. This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Northern Oahu. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW! #HIwx #FlashFlood #wxtwitter #weather

Most of the CONUS is quiet for now (thankfully), but what about other areas in the country? Alaska currently has an area that looks like a tropical cyclone on normal reflectivity. However, when we switch to a precipitation depiction product, it reveals it's just a low pressure system bringing heavy snow and windy conditions to coastal areas in southern Alaska. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the affected regions, where 2 to 5 inches of snow could accumulate thru 7 PM AKDT. Even more snow is possible in areas under a Winter Storm Warning (pink areas), where models project 6 to 9 inches of accumulation. The snow isn't the only hazard with this system. Strong wind gusts up to 50 mph could severely reduce visibility possibly down to half a mile. What’s next? Well, the GFS shows multiple low pressure systems developing over the next few days, and a Fujiwhara type effect where the lows start orbiting each other could evolve. These systems could impact southern Alaska as well as the Panhandle. The Panhandle looks to have a lot of precipitation incoming over the next week, which could fall as snow. Stay safe and warm‼️ #AKwx #weather #wxtwitter #WinterWeather #WeatherUpdate

That’s definitely quite the temperature change we see for a big chunk of the nation. Areas on the eastern coast will likely get involved with these blue zones as the cold front will push the warm air away! #weather #wxtwitter #ColdFront #WeatherUpdate
