A powerful storm that will bring heavy rain, gusty winds and flash flooding is set to hit the Hawaiian Islands Wednesday evening.

Hawaii is under severe weather warnings, including high winds, thunderstorms, and flash floods, as a storm approaches.

Oahu was drenched throughout Thursday with Waimanalo recording 7 inches of rain for the 24 hours ending at 9:45 p.m. Other areas getting about 6 inches of rain or more included Hawaii Kai, Maunawili and Niu Valley.

Potentially damaging southwest wind, a risk for severe thunderstorms, flash flooding and heavy snow on the peaks of the Big Island’s volcanoes are all in the forecast.
