Tropical Storm Lane a Prolific Rainmaker for Hawaii; Widespread Flooding Occurring After More Than 40 Inches of Rain Falls on Big Island

Lane made its closest approach to Maui and Oahu Friday night.
Dangerous flash flooding, mudslides and battering waves remain likely.
Tropical storm warnings are posted for the Big Island, Maui and Oahu.
Parts of the Big Island have picked up more than 40 inches of rain.
Tropical Storm Lane is located south of Hawaii and continues to unleash torrential rain that may produce disastrous rainfall flooding and landslides over much of the island chain, including the Big Island, where widespread flooding is occurring after more than 40 inches of rain. Battering surf and gusty winds will also be threats through Saturday.

A tropical storm warning remains in effect for Hawaii's Big Island, Maui County and Oahu, including Honolulu. Regarding Lane's current position, this means tropical storm conditions are occurring.

A tropical storm watch is in effect for Kauai County. This means tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, and a watch is typically issued 48 hours before the onset of tropical-storm-force winds that may make preparations difficult or dangerous, according to Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

The center of Lane is about 135 miles south-southwest of Honolulu or about 190 miles south-southeast of Lihue, Hawaii, moving very slowly north-northwestward. Lane is experiencing strong wind shear, along with the influence of mountainous terrain and gap winds between Maui and the Big Island.

Tropical Storm Lane is quickly weakening, but that does not lessen the flash flood and mudslide threat.

Lane's outer rainbands continue to drench parts of the islands, particularly the Big Island, where more than 40 inches of rain has been reported in a few locations.

Waiakea Uka, located just south of Hilo on the Big Island, has picked up 44.88 inches of rain since Wednesday. Piihonua picked up 42.69 inches of total rainfall through 9 p.m HST Friday.

These Big Island rainfall totals are challenging U.S. tropical cyclone rainfall records, as The Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore noted in a tweet early Saturday.
Wind gusts over 30 mph are being reported over parts of the island chain, with some sporadic gusts over 40 mph in higher terrain.

Waianae, on the western shores of Oahu, reported a wind gust of 55 mph late Friday.

Other high wind gusts include:

the Oahu Forest: 74 mph
Kohala Ranch: 68 mph
Kawaihae: 64 mph
Maui Airport: 58 mph
Honolulu: 45 mph
Storm surge on Oahu in the Ala Wai Canal near Waikiki flooded the Ala Wai golf course on Friday afternoon. The upcoming high tides are at 3:20 a.m. and 3:52 p.m. local time on Saturday.

A brush fire in Lahaina that prompted evacuations was blamed on the storm's winds. Sustained winds over 30 mph had been reported, with gusts over 55 mph at times. A second fire also developed just four hours away.
