The National Weather Service issued a FLOOD ADVISORY for Tutuila, Manu’a, Swains and Aunu’u islands until 12 noon. today, Monday, December 22, 2014. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH also remains in effect due to heavy rainfall and stream runoffs. Flooding may cause small streams to overflow, resulting in flooding in low lying areas and roadways.

Residents in low lying areas are reminded to take necessary precautionary measures.  The public is advised to be extra cautious when driving through flooded roads.  There is also a risk of mudslides and landslides along steep slopes and mountainous areas, as the grounds become saturated with water.

The National Weather Service has also advised of the continuance of a HIGH SURF ADVISORY for South facing reefs until Saturday, December 27, 2014. High Surf indicates large breaking waves producing dangerous rip currents. Residents are reminded that fishing or wave watching from shorelines is extremely dangerous. Be cautious and don’t get caught off guard as waves may suddenly race farther up the beaches than normal.

There is also a continuation of the Small Craft Advisory until further notice.
