  River remains swollen and elevated. This is on top of 3 to 6
  inches of rain overnight across the Hamakua coast and in the Hilo

  closures and significant flooding particularly the Hilo and
  surrounding area.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by heavy rain.

  IMPACT...Flooding in drainages, streams, rivers, roads,
           properties, and other low-lying areas. Public road

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Hilo, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Honokaa, Laupahoehoe, Ookala,
  Paauilo, Ninole, Honomu, Hakalau, Pepeekeo, Papaikou, Kamuela,
