## extract

Flood Watch — Niihau; Kauai Southwest; Kauai Mountains; Kauai North; Kauai East; Kauai South
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Possible.
Moisture along the eastern flank of Hurricane Lowell will bring
periods of heavy rain to the main Hawaiian Islands through Tuesday.

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Kauai and Niihau.

* WHEN...Through Tuesday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Significant flooding may occur due to the overflow of
streams and drainages. Roads in several areas may be closed, along
with property damage in urban or low lying spots due to runoff.
Landslides may also occur in areas with steep terrain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- As the center of Hurricane Lowell passes west of the islands,
deep moisture associated with its inner rainbands will spread
across Kauai and Niihau where significant rainfall has already
fallen. These additional periods of heavy rain can quickly lead
to additional flash flooding.
- Kauai and Niihau.
