FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE BIG ISLAND AND ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

A flash flood watch means that conditions are favorable for flash flooding. Flash flooding is life threatening. Do not cross fast flowing water in your vehicle or on foot.

Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action if a flash flood warning is issued. If you experience heavy rain or rising water, head to higher ground immediately.
