Hawaii on High Alert! Dangerous Storm to Bring Heavy Rain and Power Outages to Honolulu

Honolulu is gearing up for a powerful storm system that could bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, and dangerously strong winds starting Wednesday night. Forecasters warn that the intense weather could cause flash flooding, downed trees, power outages, and hazardous travel conditions. If you haven’t prepared yet, now is the time to secure outdoor items and stay weather-aware

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch and High Wind Watch for Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands, effective Wednesday 6:00 PM HST through Friday morning. Winds are expected to reach 20 to 35 mph, with gusts up to 55 mph, making driving dangerous, especially on elevated roads and bridges. Meanwhile, torrential rainfall and thunderstorms could cause flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas, creating serious risks for residents and travelers alike.

Officials are advising Honolulu residents to take immediate precautions by securing loose outdoor objects, avoiding unnecessary travel, and preparing for possible power outages. Motorists should drive cautiously, avoid flooded roads, and be prepared for sudden visibility drops due to heavy downpours.

While conditions are expected to improve by Friday afternoon, the storm’s impact could linger with wet roads, fallen debris, and scattered power disruptions. Residents should stay updated through the National Weather Service and local news channels for real-time alerts and safety updates.

Honolulu, get ready for a wild ride—stay safe, stay prepared, and don’t take this storm lightly
