Weather Alert in Oahu
WEATHER ALERT: Reposting from Stolen Stuff Hawaii NWS Hawaii Weather Radar Loops - 4:45PM HST - 3/23/2026 FLOODING CONTINUES ON OʻAHU – HEAVY RAIN NOW FOCUSED ON BIG ISLAND Radar shows the heaviest rain has now shifted to the Big Island, especially the Hilo side and the southeast portion of the island where thunderstorms and heavy rain are ongoing. Maui County is still seeing showers, but not as intense as earlier. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi are currently seeing lighter showers, but flooding is still occurring due to already saturated ground. Local reports today confirm flooding again in town areas including Mānoa and Waikīkī because the ground is fully saturated and drainage systems are overwhelmed. Even moderate rain is now causing flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. This matches what the National Weather Service warned — even though rainfall is decreasing, runoff and saturated soil can still cause flooding. According to the National Weather Service forecast, the Kona low is moving away and conditions will gradually improve, but showers and thunderstorms will continue, especially over the eastern islands. Trade winds are expected to return, bringing windward showers through Tuesday before drier weather returns later in the week. Summary by island: Oʻahu: Flooding still possible due to saturated ground. Expect showers, especially windward and mauka. Maui County: Periods of showers continue. Big Island: Heavy rain and thunderstorms ongoing, especially Hilo side. Kauaʻi: Mostly light showers. Bottom line: The worst of the storm has passed for Oʻahu, but flooding risk is NOT over because the ground is saturated. The focus of heavy rain is now the Big Island. During times of inclement weather, Stolen Stuff Hawaii will be sharing the NWS Hawaii Weather Radar loops periodically for updates. https://www.weather.gov/hfo/radar_loop Stay safe and monitor weather conditions. #hawaii #weather #alert #konalow
