Scattered showers are forecast for the next few days, but nothing like the deluge that pounded parts of Windward O'ahu Sunday night and early yesterday morning.

Ray Tanabe, a National Weather Service forecaster, said the area between Ka'a'awa and Hau'ula was hardest hit by the rain. A rain gauge in Punalu'u recorded 10.58 inches during the 12-hour period between 8 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. yesterday.

Civil defense workers directed traffic around sections of Kamehameha Highway with ponding water and debris from rockslides. A number of homeowners reported minor flooding.

The weather service issued an urban and small stream flood advisory for portions of the Windward O'ahu shoreline from Kahuku to Waikane. The advisory was canceled at 12:18 p.m. yesterday.

The rain resulted largely from a shift in the wind overnight with it blowing out of the southeast toward O'ahu from Moloka'i, Tanabe said. The moisture-laden air built up against — and slid along — the Ko'olaus, resulting in steady rain throughout the night.
