Weather Alert in Hawaii
WEATHER ALERT: Reposting from Stolen Stuff Hawaii NWS Hawaii Weather Radar Loop, 8:11 PM HST, 5/15/2026 FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR OAHU, MAUI COUNTY, AND BIG ISLAND THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Oahu, Maui County, and the Big Island, effective until 6 AM HST Saturday. An upper-level low is causing unstable conditions, leading to heavy rain and thunderstorms, particularly over Oahu and nearby waters. Residents should be cautious, as rapid rises in streams and potential flooding could affect roads. Kauai is no longer under the Flood Watch, as the threat of significant flooding has diminished there. However, a Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect for several areas, including Niihau, Kauai, and parts of Oahu and the Big Island, until May 18. Residents in these areas should be aware of the potential for minor coastal flooding. As the upper low moves away from the state over the weekend, conditions are expected to stabilize. However, wet trade winds will persist through early next week, bringing more typical weather patterns by midweek. Winds are currently gusting up to 35 mph near thunderstorms, so exercise caution when traveling. Please stay informed through official channels and avoid driving through flooded roads. The situation is being closely monitored by the National Weather Service, and updates will be provided as necessary. 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
