HAWAII FACES FLOOD THREAT AS TROPICAL DEPRESSION MOKE PASSES SOUTH
Tropical Depression Moke is moving westward south of Hawaiʻi, but the threat isn’t over yet. The National Weather Service says moisture on Moke’s northern side is bringing periods of heavy rain to the Big Island today.
A Flood Watch remains in effect through this afternoon for the Big Island. Another 2–4 inches of rain could fall across windward and southeast slopes, where the ground is already saturated from recent heavy rainfall.
Flood-prone roads, low-lying areas and streams could quickly become dangerous. Drivers should never attempt to cross flooded roads.
Stay alert, follow local alerts, and keep monitoring official weather updates. 🇺🇸
