This is a Civil Defense message.
This is a Flood Advisory message for Sunday afternoon, March 15.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Advisory for South Kohala and North
and South Kona through this evening. One to two inches of rain per hour is forecast for
the next several hours mainly along Highway 190 or the upper road.
A Flood Advisory means localized flooding may occur.
Due to the Flood Advisory, the following are issued:
• Stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low lying areas prone to flooding.
• Rainfall and runoff will also cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding,
reduced visibility and poor braking action.
• Be aware that road closures may occur without notice.
• Do not attempt to cross flowing water; turn around don't drown.
• Be on the alert for malfunctioning traffic signals. Please treat flashing traffic lights as a
four-way stop.
Stay tuned to your radio for updates and changes in conditions.
Thank you for listening.
