The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for South Kohala, North Kona, South Kona and the area around Pōhakuloa Training Area through Tuesday afternoon.

A flood advisory means localized flooding may occur.

Due to the advisory, the following are issued:

  • Stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low lying areas prone to flooding.
  • Rainfall and runoff will also cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding, reduced visibility and poor braking action.
  • Be aware that road closures may occur without notice.
  • Do not attempt to cross flowing water; turn around don’t drown.
  • Be on the alert for malfunctioning traffic signals.  Please treat flashing traffic lights as a four-way stop.
