The Flash Flood Watch continues for * Maui and the Big Island. * From Thursday morning through Saturday evening * An unstable airmass will move over the islands Thursday into the weekend, bringing an increase in showers across the eastern islands. While showers will be possible over most areas, the areas most susceptible to flooding will be windward locations which have already received rain this week. * The extended period of rain could cause flooding in low spots which could make some roadways impassable. Debris in streams and gulches may clog bridges and culverts. Strong winds may cause tree branches to fall which will potentially add to the amount of debris. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Flash 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. Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action if a Flash Flood Warning is issued. If you experience heavy rain or rising water, head to higher ground immediately. && $$
