(BIVN) – A Flood Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu for parts of Hawai‘i Island until 7 p.m. HST.

At 4:48 p.m. “radar showed most of the heavy showers and thunderstorms in the Puna District moving south and southeast across Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Kalapana,” forecasters reported. “Rain rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour persist in the heaviest showers.”

“Stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low lying areas prone to flooding.
