CNN —Hawaii’s Big Island is under a tropical storm warning as Tropical Storm Calvin is forecast to pass over or just south of the island, threatening to bring dangerous coastal surf, heavy rain and gusty winds to the area, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Calvin is expected to remain a weak tropical storm as it swiftly presses westward and passes by the state.
The heavy rainfall poses the most significant threat, prompting flood watches for the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and the Big Island from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon.
Heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms will reach the Big Island by Tuesday evening, and continue through the night.
Flash flooding is the primary threat, especially for Big Island.
