Here’s the statewide Doppler radar this morning. The storm has now developed a surface trough which is dropping heavy showers for O`ahu, Moloka`i and Lana`i, and isolated showers for Maui and the Big Island. There are sill some leftover showers on Kaua`i as well.
Rain All Over
One unexpected feature of the trough is that there are some pretty gusty winds just behind it. Since it is close to O`ahu at the moment, that island has the strongest winds, with some gusts reported as high as 50 mph on the leeward side. All of O`ahu is under a wind advisory and a flood advisory right now.
For now, it appears that the rain will get heavier on O`ahu, Moloka`i and Lana`i as the day goes on.
