The warning covers the entire island but the weather service said the north and east sides are especially vulnerable to flooding.

Maui and Molokai are also under flash flood warnings, and the Big Island is under a flood advisory this morning. The entire state remains under a flash flood watch through this afternoon.

>> High surf advisories for north and east shores from Niihau to Molokai, and for north and west shores of Maui until 6 p.m. Sunday. “A new north swell will rapidly build from northwest to southeast down the island chain today and tonight, hold through Sunday, then gradually lower early next week,” the advisory said. Surf will rapidly rise to 15 to 20 feet today along north shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai; to 10 to 14 feet today along east shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu and Molokai; and to 12 to 16 feet this afternoon along north shores of Maui.

A more intense band of rainfall with rain falling at rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour is approaching the island from the west, weather officials said. The band should reach the west side of the island with an hour and move across the island.

PREVIOUS COVERAGE

Kauai is under a flash flood warning, while most of the islands are under a flash flood watch. Oahu is under a flood advisory until 8:30 a.m.

At 5:29 a.m., the National Weather Service’s radar showed heavy rain over east Oahu from the Honolulu Airport to Waikiki to Hawaii Kai, with rainfall at a clip of 1 inch per hour at its heaviest.

The areas include Honolulu, Manoa, Maunawili, Kalihi, Kaneohe, Palolo, Moanalua, Ahuimanu, Kailua, Waimanalo, Salt Lake, Halawa, Kahaluu, Aiea, Kaneohe Marine Base, Waiahole, Hawaii Kai, Pearl City, Nuuanu and Makiki-Tantalus.

The National Weather Service’s radar showed at 5:04 a.m. today that heavy rain over the southeast slopes of Kauai from Waimea to Poipu to Kapaa.

Rain was coming down at 1 to 2 inches an hour.

The Wailua River has risen to a very high level and is continuing to go up.

Flash flooding is occurring or expected to start soon, the weather service said shortly after 5 a.m. today.

Flash flooding will be occurring at Lihue, Kapaa, Kalaheeo, Omao, Lawai, Koloa, Poipu, North Fork, Wailua Trails, Wailua Homesteads, Hanapepe, Wailua, Waimea, Anahola, Puhi, Hanamaulu, Wailua River State Park, Eleele, Kaumakani, Pakala Village and Kealia.

The flash flood warning for Kauai is in effect until at least 8:15 a.m., and may be extended should flooding persist.

All other areas throughout the state are under a flash flood watch until 6 a.m. Saturday.

The Weather Service says that a low located west of Kauai is keeping the atmosphere moist and unstable, while a cold front is approaching, which explains the potential for localized intense rainfall and flash flooding.

People should be prepared for significant flooding from overflowing streams and drainages. Roads may be closed and property damage may occur in urban and low-lying areas due to runoff.

Also, landslides could occur in areas with steep terrain.
