Flash flood watch lifted, but rain still in forecast

Advertiser Staff

There just yet may be some relief coming from Mother Nature for marathon runners this morning.

Most of the early-morning showers on O'ahu have been on the eastern side, but rainfall that was concentrated in the cloud band filling the Kauai Channel is slowly drifting east and threatening to turn the the mostly clear conditions on O'ahu into overcast and rainy skies, the National Weather Service said.

So far, however, radar and rain gauges have reported rainfall rates much reduced from 24 hours ago.

Because of that, the National Weather Service has lifted the flash flood watch.
