RAINFALL: From Tuesday night into Thursday, storm total rainfall
amounts of 4-7 inches are possible along windward areas of the Big

in the state.  This rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding
and mudslides.

main Hawaiian Islands during the next couple of days.  These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf along exposed
east-facing shores. Please consult products from your local weather
