Weather Alert in Oahu
NWS Hawaii Weather Radar Loops - 11:20PM - 3/19/2026 KONA LOW IMPACTS STATEWIDE Heavy rain and thunderstorms continue to impact the state as a Kona low remains in the region. Radar now shows the heaviest band shifting east, with intense rain and thunderstorms currently over Oʻahu and moving toward Maui County, while Kauaʻi is seeing improving conditions. The Big Island is beginning to see increasing showers, especially on the Kona side, as additional moisture moves in from the south. Local forecasts from the National Weather Service indicate periods of heavy rain, strong gusty kona winds, and thunderstorms through tonight and into Saturday, with a continued high risk of flooding statewide. Some areas could see several inches of rain, especially where bands repeatedly move over the same locations. Conditions are expected to remain wet and unsettled through Saturday, before gradually improving on Sunday, though showers and localized flooding may still persist. During times of inclement weather, Stolen Stuff Hawaii will be sharing the NWS Hawaii Weather Radar loops periodically for an easy update. The colored scale along the bottom shows radar intensity, measured in dBZ, which indicates how heavy the precipitation is. Cooler colors like blue and green represent light rain, yellow indicates moderate rain, and orange to red shows heavy rain or strong storm cells, with purple representing the most intense returns. The bar at the top is a legend for weather alerts that the National Weather Service may issue on the map. Each color represents a different type of warning, such as tornado (red), severe thunderstorm (yellow), flash flood (green), special marine (orange), or snow squall (purple). When you see a colored polygon on the radar, it means that particular warning has been issued for the area inside that outline. https://www.weather.gov/hfo/radar_loop Stay safe and monitor weather conditions.
