First Alert Weather Day expires for Kauai, Niihau and Oahu as flood threat eases

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The HNN First Alert Weather Team has canceled the First Alert Weather Day that was in effect into the nighttime hours Monday as a flood threat from an upper level disturbance has eased.

The upper level disturbance that caused heavy rain and thunderstorms is weakening and moving farther away to the west while high pressure generates breezy trade winds.

The system dropped up to five inches of rain on Windward Oahu during a six hour period Sunday night into Monday.

Honolulu’s airport grounded flights for about 45 minutes Monday due to lightning strikes in the area.
