The wider storm

A surface front stalled near Kauai, along with an upper trough, brought heavy rain and thunderstorms to parts of the Aloha State, and flash flooding to Kauai. Downpours over windward East Maui during this episode contributed to the death of a 26-year-old woman who was swept out to sea when Waioka Pond near Hana became swollen by waters coming down the slope from near the Haleakala summit. The costs of any damages were not available.

Began near Kahakuloa (20.9611, -156.5692).
