Heavy rain, thunderstorms and potentially damaging winds are expected.

A powerful Kona storm is expected to impact the islands starting in the evening of Tuesday, March 10 and continue through the week to Saturday, March 14.

Forecasters say a developing Kona storm could bring heavy rain, strong winds, and possible severe thunderstorms to Hawaiʻi later this week.

Residents should stay alert and take this storm seriously. Heavy rain and flooding can develop quickly, and conditions may worsen later in the week.”
