Weather Alert in Hawaii
WEATHER ALERT: Reposting from Stolen Stuff Hawaii NWS Hawaii Weather Radar Loop, 10:12 PM HST, 5/15/2026 FLOOD WATCH AND COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT IN EFFECT FOR HAWAIIAN ISLANDS The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for parts of Oahu, Maui County, and the Big Island until 6:00 AM HST Saturday. Heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible, particularly from Oahu to the Big Island, due to an upper-level disturbance. Residents should be cautious of potential flooding, especially in low-lying areas and near streams. A Coastal Flood Statement is also in effect for multiple areas including Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. Minor coastal flooding is expected, particularly during high tides this weekend. Residents in coastal areas should be aware of possible overwash in low-lying areas. As the upper-level disturbance weakens and moves eastward, the chances of heavy rainfall will decrease on Saturday. However, moderate easterly trade winds will continue to bring showers, primarily to windward areas. The weather is expected to stabilize by early next week, with a more typical trade wind pattern. Drivers should exercise caution on the roads, particularly in areas prone to flooding. Stay informed through official channels and heed any advisories or warnings issued by local authorities. During times of inclement weather, Stolen Stuff Hawaii will continue sharing radar loops for updates. Stay alert, avoid flooded roadways, and monitor conditions closely. #hawaii #weather #alert #flooding #forecast
