The rain is mostly over Maui County this morning, with the storm expected to slide southeast toward Hawai‘i Island later today.

However, a flood watch remains in place until 6 p.m. Sunday for the island as impacts from a second kona low in a week is still expected to impact the Big Island.

National Weather Service forecasters in Honolulu report radar shows that heavy rainfall diminished and flooding is no longer expected to pose a threat.

That advisory was the last advisory, watch or warning to end or be canceled since late last week when the National Weather Service started issuing inclement and severe weather statements and products because of anticipated impacts from what was likely not a “classic” kona low.

Radar indicated at 1:26 p.m. that heavy rain — still generally falling at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour, with the heaviest rates between Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and Pāhoa, including portions of Pāhoa-Kalapana Road and Highway 11.

Flash flooding and potential for a few thunderstorms in forecast through this afternoon as deep tropical moisture stalled over Kauaʻi Channel combines with passing disturbance aloft.

Flood advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. today for east and southeastern slopes; high pressure moving in from north-northeast to usher in return to more typical trade wind weather later today.

Crews are continuing to respond to scattered and isolated outages in Pāpaʻikou, Pepeʻekeo, Hawaiian Beaches, Hawaiian Shores, ʻĀinaloa, Nānāwale Estates, Leilani Estates, Kalapana, Seaview Estates, Mountain View and several other locations.

Some locations that will experience flooding include Hilo, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Kapa‘au, Honoka‘a, Pāpa‘ikou, Honomū, Pepe‘ekeo, Mountain View, Glenwood, Hakalau, Volcano, Nīnole, Kea‘au, Laupāhoehoe, Hawaiian Acres, ‘Ō‘ōkala, Orchidlands Estates, Pa‘auilo and Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.

Flash flood warnings were in effect late Friday night and into early Saturday morning for portions of North and South Kohala and Hāmākua as heavy rain and thunderstorms moved over the districts.

At 9:51 p.m., radar and rain gauges indicated that rainfall rates have eased over the southeast flank of the Big Island. However, runoff levels were still high and rain continued in some locations, with heavy rainfall is still possible in the warning areas.

At 9:46 p.m., radar showed heavy showers repeatedly forming over the slopes of Kaʻū and Puna, with rainfall rates between 1 and 2 inches per hour leading to significant runoff. Rainfall over the South Hilo area had eased by earlier in the afternoon.
