HONOLULU – Remnants from former Tropical Storm Linda have the potential to bring flooding rains to all Hawaiian Islands on Sunday through Monday. A Flash Flood Watch will go in to affect for all islands starting Sunday. The greatest threat for heavy rainfall will start on Sunday night and last through Monday.
