Flood Watch Issued for Maui County Through Saturday
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Honolulu has issued a Flood Watch for Maui County, including Maui, Lanai, Molokai, The Big Island, and Kahoolawe. This alert is in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. A potential tropical cyclone, referred to as the future Nolo, is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the eastern end of Hawaii. The exact track of the storm remains uncertain, but significant rainfall is anticipated, particularly on the windward and southeast areas of the Big Island and windward Maui. Other islands in Maui County are also at risk of heavy rain and flash flooding due to very high rainfall rates. Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest forecasts and prepare for potential Flash Flood Warnings.
