The system, described as a monsoon trough, is expected to bring exceptionally high moisture levels to the islands, which could lead to intense rainfall rates and flash flooding. The greatest potential for the heaviest rain appears to be between Oahu and the Big Island, although the forecast remains uncertain and could change as the system approaches. The heaviest rainfall is expected from Tuesday into Wednesday, with the threat continuing through Thursday. Forecasters see a good possibility of flooding, but are still working to determine which islands could be most affected.
