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."
