Elevated North America

NWS / NOAA weather: Flash Flood Warning issued September 7 at 11:03PM HST until September 8 at 1:30AM HST by NWS Honolulu HI

At 1103 PM HST, Doppler radar indicated diminished rainfall over
Kauai. Rain rates are currently less than 1 inch per hour. Most
rivers and streams have either leveled off or have begun to fall,
though flooding impacts continue across the island. The Waimea River,
however, continues to rise in response to significant runoff. Flash
flooding is therefore increasingly likely along the lower elevations
of southwest Kauai, including Kekaha, Waimea, Pakala Village and
vicinity.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by heavy rain.

SOURCE...Gauges reported.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
drainage and low-lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
The island of Kauai.
