Flood advisory expired for Big Island
The flood advisory for the island of Hawaii has expired.
Radar at 10:23 p.m. indicated heavy rain falling at a rate of up to 2 inches per hour near Honaunau but the isolated shower that’s causing the heavy rainfall seems to be nearly stationary, officials said.
Locations of the advisory included but weren’t limited to Captain Cook, Kainaliu, Honaunau, Kealakekua, Honalo and Kahaluu-Keauhou.
The heavy rainfall and runoff will also cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding including reduced visibility and poor braking action.
The public is urged to take precautionary measures and stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low lying areas prone to flooding.

Even remnants of a typhoon mean massive amounts of moisture were transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere.
