The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a

The island of Maui in Maui County
* Until 145 AM HST.
* At 1035 PM HST, radar indicated heavy showers and thunderstorms
expanding across all of Maui, with rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches
per hour now occurring island-wide. Emergency management continues
to report road closures in the Lahaina, Kahului, and Wailuku
areas. Additional heavy showers developing and lifting northward
over the island will likely continue through the overnight hours.
Given saturated ground conditions from recent heavy rainfall,
dangerous runoff and flash flooding impacts could occur quickly as
water levels in streams rise.

IMPACT...Significant and life threatening flooding in
drainages, streams, rivers, roads, properties, and
other low lying areas. Multiple public road closures
expected, as well as landslides in steep terrain.
* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
This includes the entire island of Maui.
Instruction:
Stay away from streams, rivers, drainage ditches, and culverts, even
if they are currently dry.
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
The heavy rains may cause rock and mudslides in steep terrain areas.
