The National Weather Service on Monday afternoon issued a flash flood watch for several areas of the Big Island.
The Districts of Ka‘ū, Puna, North Hilo, South Hilo, Hāmākua, North Kohala, and South Kohala are all under a flash flood watch through Tuesday evening. A flash flood watch means that conditions are favorable for flash flooding.
All residents in flood-prone areas are asked to remain alert for flooding conditions. 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. Teat flashing traffic lights as a four-way stop.
