HAWAII ISLAND ? A flash flood watch has been added to the list of other weather related watches and warnings for Hawaii Island. The National Weather Service issued the flash flood watch for the Big Island and Maui County from late Tuesday night through Thursday afternoon. That compounds concerns for Hawaii Island, which is already on the alert for high winds and winter storms on the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, as well as warning-level high surf that could reach 25 to 35 feet along north facing shores.
National Weather Service meteorologists say “abundant moisture moving over the islands from the east will combine with a developing upper level trough to bring the threat of widespread moderate to heavy rain, and isolated thunderstorms.” The National Weather service in Honolulu has expanded the flash flood watch to include Oahu from Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon. – See more at: http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2013/11/12/flash-flood-watch-compounds-hawaii-weather-woes/#sthash.LfBAUmU2.dpuf
