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

* WHERE...Kauai, Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Maui.

* WHEN...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 north to northwest of the state will bring the
    potential for heavy rain and thunderstorms through at least
    Friday.  The highest chance for excessive rainfall appears to
    be over Kauai and Oahu through Friday. However all islands in
    the Flood Watch area should be prepared for the possibility
    of flash flooding.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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