...ACTIVE WEATHER EXPECTED BY THE WEEKEND WITH THE RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLY FLASH FLOODING...

An unusually strong upper level disturbance is expected to approach
the islands later Friday into Saturday, bringing the possiblity of
very active weather to portions of the Aloha State. The latest
guidance indicates a possiblity for severe thunderstorms, which
could produce damaging winds and large hail, as well as the
possibility for localized intense rainfall and flash flooding.

The details of this event, including timing, locations most at risk,
and intensity, are still uncertain. We will continue to monitor this
potential. Listen for later statements, as well as possible watches
and warnings, as this event becomes more clear.
