A flood advisory expired for Oahu and Hawaii island tonight as earlier heavy rain dissipated.

Earlier today, moisture brought by former Hurricane Lester lingered around the islands and prompted the advisories until 5:30 p.m. for Oahu and 5:45 p.m. for Hawaii island.

The National Weather Service said to continue to use caution near rivers and streams as they will remain elevated for the next few hours.
