#Hawaii's #KonaStorm triggers #flooding, 100-mph #winds and summit snow
An emergency declaration was issued as a prolonged #kona storm is bringing dangerous flooding, waterspouts, high winds over 100 mph and 1-2 feet of snow to the summits.

Excerpt: "Storms are producing intense downpours capable of triggering localized flooding, especially in upslope areas. Heavier rainfall is expected over #Kauai and #Oahu and continuing into the weekend.
" 'This deluge of heavy rain will persist for most of the Hawaiian Islands on Saturday, exacerbating any ongoing localized flooding,' Glenny said.
"As more rain falls, life-threatening flash flooding, mudslides and other debris flows are possible."

#California Issued Warning Over ‘Onslaught’ of #AtmosphericRivers
By Amanda Greenwood, Dec 17, 2025
"Following last week’s atmospheric rivers—which triggered flooding in the #Cascades and #WashingtonState—the #WestCoast is facing another series of storms, now shifting south. These systems are expected to bring heavy rain and mountain snow to #Oregon and #NorthernCalifornia from Wednesday into the weekend and next week, according to senior meteorologists at The Weather Channel.
"In summary, these meteorologists have forecast that Wednesday could bring heavy rain and high winds to the northwest and far northern parts of California, lessening to showers on Wednesday afternoon.
"Another atmospheric river will then hit #Oregon, Washington, #Idaho, and #Montana on Thursday, bringing snow and rain. By Friday, the system is expected to move into southern Oregon and northern California, particularly affecting areas north of the Bay Area. Over the weekend, there is a concern that northern California will be badly affected by rainfall on Sunday, with locally heavy rain forecast to return to Oregon and Washington.
"They've predicted that the heaviest rainfall is expected to fall over the weekend, in western Oregon and northern California, particularly #Siskiyou and coastal ranges along the California coast, where up to 5 inches of rain is forecast. This is likely to cause #FlashFlooding and possibly even #landslides—especially in areas that have recently experienced #wildfires.
"Already flooded areas in Washington—particularly the Skagit, Snohomish, Green, White, Cowlitz, Chehalis, and Yakima Rivers—could experience secondary crests, a later rise in river levels, from the additional rainfall. Although levels aren’t expected to be as high as last week, it could cause 'major flooding,' especially along the #SkagitRiver."

Risk rises for #mudslides around #LACounty fire zones; prepare for worst-case scenario, officials warn
Alene Tchekmedyian, Rong-Gong Lin II, Melody Gutierrez, LA Times
January 26, 2025"With more rain on the way, officials warned Sunday of an increasing risk of mudslides in #LosAngelesCounty's burn areas, with a 10% to 20% chance of significant #FlashFlooding and #DebrisFlows capable of damaging roads and homes in and around areas devastated by #wildfires.
"'This is the worst-case scenario to prepare for,' said Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"'We do have increasing concern for the #BurnScars,' Lund said. The charred footprint of the Eaton fire, which blackened more than 14,000 acres, is the most worrisome. 'These #FlashFloods and these debris flows could happen in and near or below these burn scars.'
"A #FloodWatch took effect at 10 a.m. Sunday and was set to continue through 4 p.m. Monday for the burned areas of the #EatonFire in the #Altadena and #Pasadena areas; the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas; the Hughes fire around Lake Castaic; and the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel Mountains west and southwest of Wrightwood. The flood watch started six hours earlier than originally anticipated as rain began falling steadily around Los Angeles."

#TropicalStormSara to unleash life-threatening #flooding in #CentralAmerica
Tropical Storm Sara will bring an extreme risk to lives and property in Central America where feet of rain may fall before tracking toward #Florida next week.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Nov 14, 2024
"Rain may pour down for days on the northern parts of #Nicaragua and #Honduras before shifting to eastern parts of #Guatemala, #Belize and southeastern #Mexico this weekend.
"A general 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) will fall in this zone, but a large pocket of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) of rain is forecast from northern Honduras and Nicaragua, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 50 inches (127 cm).
"'This amount of rain will trigger major #FlashFlooding and #mudslides with the potential for catastrophic loss of life and tremendous damage,' AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter warned.
"Some communities could be cut off for days due to washed-out roads and bridges or blocked by debris flows. Demands for rescue and recovery efforts, as well as food and medical supplies, will be great in the wake of the storm in the region.
"Because of Sara's proximity to the #Caribbean for several days, it will likely not unwind fully. As a result, winds, waves and #StormSurge will blast the coast of #Honduras, eastern #Guatemala, #Belize and Mexico's #Yucatan Peninsula. Sporadic #PowerOutages are likely due to #StrongWinds."
