The big storms that were pounding the islands yesterday have calmed down. A pocket of cold air that was hanging out above us is moving away and getting weaker. This morning: Rain is mostly hitting the windward sides of the islands, especially the Hawaii Island. There might be a few heavy showers pop up, but nothing bad enough to worry about flooding anymore—so the Flood Watch got cancelled.

Today: That cold air pocket keeps drifting away, so heavy storms will keep decreasing. You’ll still get rain on the east side of the islands, but it won’t be as intense. Tomorrow through early Tuesday: Expect a wet pattern with steady showers, mainly on the east side and in the mountains. The Hawaii Island and Maui might see a brief heavy shower in the afternoon on the west side (the drier side), but it won’t last long. Late Tuesday or Wednesday: Things stabilize. You’ll get back to normal—rain on the east side, mostly dry on the west side
