The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Flood Advisory for the Big Island until 12:15 a.m. Thursday (May 29).

At 10:15 p.m. Wednesday weather radar showed rainfall diminishing along the Leeward coast of the Big Island between Kailua-Kona and Captain Cook, however runoff and ponding continues from earlier heavy rainfall.

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.

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