The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Flash Flood Warning for the Big Island until 9:30 p.m. Tuesday (Dec 31).

At 6:18 p.m. weather radar showed heavy rain near Honokaa. The area of heavy rain was nearly stationary. Other locations in the warning area include, but are not limited to, Waipio Valley.

Campers and hikers should avoid low lying flood prone areas. People should stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low lying areas prone to flooding. The rainfall and runoff will cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding, reduced visibility and poor braking action. Runoff from this storm may also cause rock and mudslides in steep terrain.

Do not cross fast flowing or rising water in your vehicle or on foot. Turn around, don’t drown.
