PREVIOUS COVERAGE

The flash flood watch this evening has been extended statewide, beginning at 6 p.m. today through late Tuesday night.

The National Weather Service said heavy rainfall is expected this evening due to deep, tropical moisture along with a strong upper-level trough, resulting in the possibility of flash flooding. The flash flood watch has expanded from Niihau, Kauai and Oahu to Kahoolawe, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, and the Big Island.

The greatest threat for thunderstorms, flooding and severe weather in the form of damaging winds will be over the western islands tonight and tomorrow morning, weather officials said. Heavy rainfall with the chance for flooding will also be possible over the remaining the islands, starting late tonight to Tuesday, with the possibility of large waterspouts.

Heavy rainfall could result in low spots in roads becoming impassable due to severe runoff, while debris in streams and gulches could clog bridges and culverts, resulting in dangerous flooding. Isolated landslides could also occur.

Wind, downpours and lots of rain are expected on Halloween eve Tuesday. Scattered showers, meanwhile, are expected for trick-or-treaters on Halloween on Wednesday night, according to NWS hydrometeorological technician Jerome Saucier, with a 30 to 50 percent chance of rain in various areas statewide.
