As forecast, Tropical Storm Calvin dumped between 4 inches and 8 inches of rain in numerous spots on Hawaii Island, but little to no damage apparently was done as the weakening storm system passed just south of the island overnight.

There were a few reports of minor flooding, but no major road closures, according to Civil Defense.

A tropical storm warning remains in effect until further notice for Hawaii County.

At 8 a.m. Calvin was about 205 miles southwest of Hilo, packing maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and moving west at 2o mph.

Weakening is forecast for the next 48 hours, and Calvin is expected to soon become a post-tropical low-pressure system.

Honolii Stream, just north of Hilo, reported receiving 7.24 inches of rain during the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. today.

Other places receiving significant rainfall include: Hakalau, 7.02 inches; Kulani, 6.63 inches; Laupahoehoe, 6.16 inches; Waiakea Uka, 5.92 inches; Waiakea Experimental Station, 4.54 inches; and and Lower Kahuku, 4.05 inches.

Hilo International Airport received just 2.46 inches as of 8 a.m.

Most leeward Big Island rain gauges collected no rain at all during the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. One exception was Kahua Ranch, which received 2.84 inches.

According to the National Weather Service, as Calvin moves away from Hawaii, additional rainfall totals of 2 inches to 4 inches are possible on the Big Island, with 1-3 inches possible on the other islands.

A high surf warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. for east-facing shores.

County and state offices and facilities on the Big Island remain closed today, as do all state courts islandwide.

All county camping permits throughout the island are canceled through today.

Waipio Valley Access Road will be limited to access by residents and farmers only until further notice.
