At 1103 PM HST, Doppler radar indicated diminished rainfall over
Kauai. Rain rates are currently less than 1 inch per hour. Most
rivers and streams have either leveled off or have begun to fall,
though flooding impacts continue across the island. The Waimea River,
however, continues to rise in response to significant runoff. Flash
flooding is therefore increasingly likely along the lower elevations
of southwest Kauai, including Kekaha, Waimea, Pakala Village and
vicinity.

Hoping Kauaʻi and Niʻihau will be ok. I have heard thousands of customers on Oʻahu (my island) have lost power. I’m fine. We are kind of waiting at this point.

#Lowell #TropicalOutlook #SevereWeather #HIwx #Kauai

From County of Hawaii on FB: This is a Civil Defense Message
This is a Hurricane Lowell Information Update for Monday September 7th at 5:30pm.

As of 5:00 this afternoon, Hurricane Lowell is a category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of up to 110 mph. Lowell is expected to remain a hurricane as it continues to pass near the Hawaiian Islands.
Lowell is currently located approximately 170 miles southwest of Lihue and 230 miles southwest of Honolulu and moving north northeast at 18 mph.
Although Lowell remains far to the west of Hawaii Island, the forecast continues to call for high surf and possibly heavy rains and flooding conditions.
A Flood Watch remains in effect for Hawaii Island through tomorrow afternoon. Parts of Hawaii Island may see rainfall amounts from 4 to 8 inches with locally higher amounts up to 12 inches. Residents in flood prone areas are advised to take precautions and in particular those areas of the Kau district that were severely impacted by Hurricane Lala.
A high surf warning remains in effect for the south and west facing shores of Hawaii Island and a high surf advisory remains in effect for the east facing shores of Hawaii Island.

At this time all state and county government operations on Hawaii Island and all schools on Hawaii Island will be open tomorrow.

Conditions will be monitored closely and you will be kept informed of any developments.

Please continue to monitor local radio broadcasts for official updates and advisories in your area.

The Garden Island: KEMA urges exposed south and west shore residents to move to safety

Monday, September 07, 2026 03:15 pm

IHUʻE – The Kauaʻi Emergency Management Agency is urging residents and visitors at exposed oceanfront properties along Kauaʻi’s south and west shores to move to a safer location as soon as possible, before wind, rain, and ocean conditions make travel unsafe.

Hurricane Lowell is expected to produce storm-surge inundation of two to four feet above in some areas along the south and west shores. Large and destructive waves may cause additional coastal flooding and overwash. Storm surge is a dangerous rise of ocean water caused by a storm that can quickly flood normally dry coastal areas....

Hurricane Lowell making its way through the Hawaiian islands, just southwest of Ni'ihau #HurricaneLowell #Hurricane #HIwx

"...KEY MESSAGES:

1. Kauai County: The core of Lowell is forecast to pass near Niihau
tonight and early Tuesday, and damaging hurricane conditions are
expected during that time, with the highest winds atop mountains and
on windward and leeward slopes. Large damaging waves will impact
exposed portions of the coastline, producing dangerous coastal
flooding and inundation of low-lying areas through early Tuesday.

2. Periods of heavy rainfall will increase in coverage over the
Hawaiian Islands today and continue through Wednesday. This
may produce significant flash flooding and mudslides, especially
across Kauai County and portions of the Big Island.

3. Oahu: Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin tonight.
Strong, damaging wind gusts could cause tree damage and power
