Both North and South Kohala are under a flood advisory for the next several hours.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for the Kohala Districts until 9:45 a.m. Monday. One to three inches of rain per hour is forecast during that time.
Due to the Flood 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.
Do not attempt to cross flowing water; turn around don’t drown.
Be aware that road closures may occur without notice.
Be on the alert for malfunctioning traffic signals. Treat flashing traffic lights as a four-way stop.
