The islands should be spared this weekend from the thunderstorms and heavy rain that caused flooding on Oahu on Friday.

The weather should start clearing up today on Oahu and Kauai, although there is a potential for moisture, National Weather Service meteorologist Gavin Shigesato said. By Sunday, tradewind weather should return.

“There’s still a chance for short, heavy downpours” in Maui County today, he added, but Hawaii island should not be affected by the wet weather.

“Most of the rainfall was focused over the Koolaus from about 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.,” mainly affecting Windward Oahu, Shigesato said.

A flash flood warning was issued for areas from Kaneohe to Kahuku, and around lunchtime it was extended from Turtle Bay to Hawaii Kai as well as Honolulu, Mililani, Wahiawa and Palolo.

Parts of the West side, including Nanakuli, got a couple of inches of rain in the morning with spotty thunderstorms and heavy rain, he said.

Rain was falling at a rate of 2 to 3 inches an hour at 11:55 a.m.

Rain gauges for the 12-hour period ending at 5 p.m. measured 6.8 inches at the Luluku gauge in Kaneohe, 6.79 inches at the Moanalua gauge near the Koolaus and 5.3 inches at the H-3 tunnel gauge.

State Department of Transportation crews cleared stream mouths late into Friday afternoon in Hauula.

Mud and debris, including tree logs, from overflowing streams covered bridges in Hauula, causing flooding onto Kamehameha Highway.

The 53-770 block of Kamehameha Highway was closed in the early afternoon due to dangerous road conditions.

The Honolulu Fire Department assisted in clearing the debris.

Hauula resident Punini Apuakehau said one stream came up about 8 feet high measuring from the streambed and was thigh-high along the highway.

Apuakehau was picking through debris on the beach in Hauula, discovering a plastic barrel and an octopus, among other things he loaded onto a wagon. Some of it was brought downstream by the floodwaters while some of it washed ashore from the ocean, churned up by the storm.

DOT crews were diverted to Likelike Highway. The Kaneohe-bound lanes of the H-3 freeway offramp to the Likelike was closed before 12:30 p.m. due to ponding and debris.

The Likelike was closed in both directions near the Wilson Tunnel at about 2 p.m. due to heavy debris on the highway, police said.

HFD Capt. Scot Seguirant said the Fire Department also received one call for water evacuation at a business in Kakaako.

Hawaiian Electric Co. crews responded to power outages in Kaneohe and Makaha, although HECO did not confirm whether they were weather-related.

Approximately 2,500 customers in Kaneohe and 2,200 customers in Makaha experienced outages reported at about 10:30 a.m.

The city Department of Parks and Recreation closed Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden due to the heavy rainfall. Only those with valid camping permits were allowed to enter the garden. Weekend fishing was suspended.

The city also closed various fields at the Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park, including the softball field and a baseball field. More fields may be closed “if the soggy conditions persist,” the city said in a news release.

Some city pools were closed due to lightning and thunder.
