At 2:20 p.m. radar indicated heavy showers falling at rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour over leeward Big Island between Kamuela and Pu‘uanahulu and along Saddle Road west of Pōhakuloa Camp. Additional heavy showers are expected through the afternoon.
Locations in the advisory include but are not limited to Pōhakuloa Training Area and Kalaoa.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:
