The remnants of Hilda continued to dump rain on Hawaii island Friday even as the former tropical cyclone moves further south of the state. A flash flood advisory for Hawaii island was canceled at 8:30 p.m. Friday.

On Thursday, Hilda was downgraded from a tropical depression to a "post-tropical cyclone," or remnant low by forecasters at the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

At 2 p.m. Friday, the former tropical cyclone was about 435 miles south-southwest of Honolulu, and moving away from the islands.

While wind no longer is a worry, Hilda still carries plenty of rain and began dumping some of it on Hawaii island Thursday.

The island remains under a flash flood watch until late Friday night. 

Hilda is expected to dissipate entirely by Saturday as it moves southwest.

A small craft advisory for waters surrounding the islands is in effect until noon Saturday.

Hilda’s strength peaked as a category 4 hurricane on Saturday with 140 mph winds.

This was Hawaii’s second close encounter with a former hurricane this month. Guillermo weakened and dissipated on a track just north of the islands at the beginning of August. The Central Pacific has experienced a busier-than-usual hurricane season this summer, which forecasters had predicted as El Nino conditions bring warmer Pacific Ocean temperatures to help fuel tropical cyclones.
