...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Entire State of Hawaii.
  

* Through late Friday night

* Abundant moisture from Hurricane Lane is moving across the Big
  Island and Maui, and will continue to spread across the rest of
  the islands through Friday. Heavy rainfall is expected,  
  especially along southeast and east facing slopes. Storm total 
  rainfall amounts greater than 20 inches are possible. The 
  flooding threat will increase as Hurricane Lane approaches. 

* In addition to flood prone areas, heavy rain events of this 
  size may cause flooding in areas outside of designated flood 
  zones. Low spots in roads will become dangerous and impassible 
  due to severe runoff. High amounts of debris in streams and 
  gulches may clog bridges and culverts resulting in dangerous 
  flooding outside the normal channels and significant property 
  damage. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

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