* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be 
  possible.

* WHERE...All the main Hawaiian islands.

* WHEN...From Wednesday morning through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...Significant flooding may occur due to the overflow of 
  streams and drainages. Roads in several areas may be closed, along 
  with property damage in urban or low lying spots due to runoff. 
  Landslides may also occur in areas with steep terrain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A kona low developing north of the state will bring the
    potential for  heavy rain and thunderstorms over portions of
    the state from Wednesday through Friday and possibly
    continuing through the weekend. The highest chances for
    excessive rainfall appear to be over Oahu and Maui county
    later Wednesday and Wednesday night, then slowly shift
    westward, with the focus mainly on Kauai by later Friday.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

Remember that it does not have to be raining at your location for 
flash flooding to occur. If you notice signs of heavy rain or 
thunderstorms upslope, move quickly away from flood prone areas.
