HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells generated by Darby are expected to affect 
portions of the Hawaiian Islands over the weekend. These swells are
likely to produce hazardous surf and dangerous rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local National
Weather Service office in Honolulu, Hawaii for further details.
 
RAINFALL: Darby is expected to produce localized storm total
rainfall of 2 to 4 inches along portions of mainly windward Big
Island and windward Maui. These rains may cause nuisance flooding
especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
