    From NWS Honolulu on FB: A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for Kauai County and any preparations for damaging winds should be complete by midday Monday. Large swells from Lowell are expected to produce coastal flooding of low lying areas late Monday into Monday night across south and west facing shores. 1 to 3 feet of storm surge will be possible over Kauai. Heavy rain bands associated with Lowell will begin to impact the state late Sunday and a Flood Watch has been issued for the entire state. The heaviest rainfall is expected to be on Kauai and southeast slopes of the Big Island.

A Hurricane Watch has been issued for portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to French Frigate Shoals.

    2. Heavy rainfall associated with Hurricane Lowell will begin to impact the Hawaiian Islands Sunday afternoon and continue through early next week. Periods of heavy rain may produce significant flash flooding and mudslides, especially on Kauai and portions of the Big Island.

    3. Large swells from Lowell are expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip current conditions across portions of the Hawaiian Islands during the next several days. Surf along exposed portions of Kauai County could also produce coastal flooding and inundation of low-lying areas late Monday into Monday night.
