The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a flood advisory for Hawaii Island that remains in effect until 9:15 p.m. Friday.
At 7:12 p.m., radar showed heavy rain near Kealakekua, according to forecasters. The area of heavy rain was nearly stationary. A rain gauge in Honaunau measured rain falling at a rate of nearly 3 inches per hour.
Other locations included in the advisory are Kailua-Kona, Keauhou, Captain Cook and Honaunau, according to the service.
The advisory may be extended beyond 9:15 p.m. if the heavy rain persists.
The public is advised to stay away from drainage ditches, streams and low-lying areas prone to flooding. Rainfall and runoff will also cause hazardous driving conditions because of reduced visibility, ponding on roadways and poor braking action.
