Flash flood watch issued for all islands except Kaua'i

Advertiser Staff

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for all islands across the state except for Kaua'i. The watch is expected to remain in effect through at least early this afternoon.

A slow moving cold front will result in unsettled weather throughout the first half of the work week while and upper level disturbance will push the front to the east by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Somewhat drier and less muggy weather is expected in the latter half of the week, forecasters said.

The cold front is over West Molokai at this time and will be moving throughMaui County today and dissipating over the

Big Island late toning and early tomorrow.

As Big Island residents deal with the after effects of Sundays earthquakes the weather there should be OK today although the cold front and accompanying showers are moving in that direction, forecasters said, and may arrive there sooner than expected.

Here's what to expect on O'ahu over the next several days:

Today, mostly cloudy. Showers likely and slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning, then showers likely in the afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall possible. Highs 79 to 87. West winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Tonight, mostly cloudy with showers likely. Locally heavy rainfall possible. Lows 69 to 76. Southwest winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Tuesday, mostly cloudy until mid morning then becoming partly cloudy.

Showers likely until mid morning, then scattered showers late in the morning. Isolated showers in the afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall possible until mid morning. Highs 80 to 87. West winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Wednesday, mostly sunny. Highs 80 to 87. Light winds. Wednesday night, mostly clear. Lows 67 to 74. Light winds.
