Weather Alert in Hawaii
WEATHER ALERT: Reposting from Stolen Stuff Hawaii NWS Hawaii Weather Radar Loop, 9:42 AM HST, 5/16/2026 COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT IN EFFECT FOR HAWAII UNTIL MAY 18 The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Statement for several areas across Hawaii, including parts of Oahu, Maui County, Kauai, and the Big Island. This is expected to last until May 18 at 2:00 PM HST. Residents in these areas should be aware of minor coastal flooding, particularly during high tide periods. Today, a slightly unstable trade wind flow will persist, with isolated heavy showers and thunderstorms mainly affecting the Big Island. The rest of the islands may experience isolated showers, but rainfall rates are generally light to moderate. The upper-level system causing these conditions is moving away, and its impact is expected to decrease throughout the day. As we move into Sunday and early next week, somewhat wet easterly trade winds will bring more rainfall to windward slopes. By Tuesday and Wednesday, a more stable trade wind pattern is forecast to develop, bringing moderate to breezy conditions. For those traveling, be cautious of wet roads and potential flooding, especially in low-lying coastal areas. Mariners should also be aware of changing weather conditions as stability returns to the region. Stay informed with updates from the National Weather Service. During times of inclement weather, Stolen Stuff Hawaii will continue sharing radar loops for updates. This is a Stolen Stuff Hawaii summary based on National Weather Service data, not an official NWS forecast. Stay alert, avoid flooded roadways, and monitor conditions closely. #hawaii #weather #alert #flooding #forecast
