A flash flood warning was issued for O'ahu at 11 a.m. today by the National Weather Service.People should move to higher ground, stay away from streams and low-lying areas prone to flooding, the weather service said.
Heavy rains are expected to continue pounding Honolulu before moving over the east side of O'ahu.
The latest storm system is drenching Kaua'i, O'ahu and Moloka'i and is expected to continue to do so through tonight, the weather service said.
Some thunderstorms also are expected, said Derek Wroe, with the weather service.
Maui and the Big Island are still under threat of rain, Wroe said.
Besides the flash flood warning for O'ahu, a flash flood watch is in effect for the state until tomorrow.
"We're calling for some slight improvement in the weather by early next week," Wroe said. "We're still looking for a return to light trade winds but still a wet trade winds pattern for next week."
