Details 

Weather conditions are expected to worsen over Oahu tonight (Saturday) into tomorrow (Sunday) evening. Heavy rains may cause flooding. Be aware of nearby streams, drainage channels, roads, ditches, and other areas known to flood. High winds can cause downed trees and power outages.

• Flood Watch is in effect until Monday afternoon.
• Wind Advisory is in effect until 6am tomorrow (Sunday). Northeast winds 20 to 30mph with gusts up to 50mph are possible overnight.
• High Wind Warning is in effect from 6am tomorrow (Sunday) through 6pm Monday. Northeast winds of 25 to 35mph with gusts up to 60mph are expected in this timeframe.
  

City crews have been clearing stream mouths and responding to downed trees. In anticipation of the storm, the Department of Parks and Recreation has suspended camping and number of park facilities have also been closed. Check for updates before heading out.

Residents and visitors are urged to use caution when outdoors and to prepare for potential power outages.

• Turn around, don’t drown! Do not attempt to walk, swim, or drive through flowing or rising water. Floodwaters can rise rapidly. Just one foot of moving water can sweep away a vehicle. If your vehicle is caught in rapidly moving water, stay inside. If water begins to rise inside the vehicle, get on the roof.
• Drive carefully: Roads may be blocked or partially closed due to fallen trees, rocks, or debris. Use caution and watch for first responders and crews working in the area. Be aware of officers directing traffic. If a traffic signal is out or malfunctioning, treat the intersection as a four-way stop.
• Use extreme caution outdoors. Limit outdoor activities. High winds can cause falling rocks or branches and dangerous ocean conditions. Do not cross flooded streams. Streambeds that appear dry can quickly flood due to rain upstream, even if it is not raining where you are.
• Prepare for power outages: Keep back up batteries for flashlights, cell phones, and medical equipment charged and ready. Fill water containers. Turn your refrigerator and freezer to their coldest settings.
• Stay informed: Follow along for updates. Encourage others to sign up for HNL Alert, subscribed to trusted social media accounts, and follow updates from local tv and radio stations.

Updates will be provided via HNL Alert more information become available or if significant changes to the forecast are published.
