A Flood Watch is in effect for the State of Hawaii from 6 pm HST this evening through Sunday afternoon. PDC is coordinating closely in support of state and local emergency management as another “Kona Low” storm moves through the state. Several rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall are anticipated, with the heaviest rain expected from Friday night through Saturday. While this storm may not be as strong as the one last week, the ground is already saturated, and it will take less rain to produce flooding. For hazard alerts and updates as this storm unfolds, continue to monitor DisasterAWARE and the Disaster Alert app, as conditions may change, and additional alerts may be issued or extended. >> Download Disaster Alert on the App Store and Google Play State and local decision makers can access PDC’s DisasterAWARE Pro (DisasterAWARE.pdc.org) to assess potential impacts, current and forecast rainfall, wind speeds, stream gauge observations, live cameras, critical infrastructure, and more. #EarlyWarningForAll #SaferWorld #hawaii #maui #oahu #SevereWeather #flood #disasteraware #EarlyWarningForAll #SaferWorld #hawaii #maui#oahu#severeweather#weather #flood #disasteraware @Hawaii_EMA @Maui_EMA @CivilDefenseHI @Oahu_DEM
