CAUTION

Flood Watch for Maui through 6 p.m. Sept. 8

A Flood Watch remains in effect for Maui through 6 p.m. HST Tuesday, Sept. 8; avoid flooded roads, do not drive around barricades, and be prepared for flash flooding. - The National Weather Service says a moist southerly flow will maintain the threat of flooding through at least today and possibly through Wednesday in some areas. - Hurricane Lowell is lifting northward away from the islands; localized heavy showers could still develop over terrain on any island today, and a broad area of convergence near Maui could maintain some flooding threat. - Maui County reports that coastal flooding and Hurricane Lowell storm surge have caused debris-related road closures; use alternate routes and do not attempt to cross flooded roads.
