BULLET POINTS

• Tropical Storm Warning dropped for Big Island
• Warning in place for other islands as of 8 a.m., Aug. 25
• 115 miles S of O‘ahu moving very slowly NNW
• As it moves west, warnings and watches will begin to be dropped
• Deep moisture will likely produce rain through tomorrow

BIG ISLAND

• Winds not expected but more rain is forecast
• The Big Island has already received over 40 inches in some areas
• Roads have been closed due to flooding and landslides
• Residents have been evacuated
• There are still flood waters coming out of the mountains, that is why flash flood warning is still in effect even though it may not be raining right now
• The soil is saturated, so any rainfall poses a danger for flash flooding
