Hawaii is bracing for a powerful Kona storm expected to bring intense winds, thunderstorms, and potentially significant flooding across multiple islands. Governor Josh Green has issued an emergency proclamation to mobilize additional resources in response to the anticipated severe weather. The National Weather Service has warned that the storm will deliver heavy rainfall, causing flooding in smaller islands and urban areas, along with severe thunderstorms and gusty winds. The storm is forecast to initially impact Kauai, Niihau, and Oahu on Tuesday, before spreading to other islands throughout the week. The state has closed several parks and trails, advising residents to avoid forested and coastal areas due to risks from storm surge, high surf, rising streams, and falling trees.
