A photo comparison between Friday, September 6, and today, September 9, shows that the water level in the pond continues to slowly rise. For example, the rock marked by the arrow is a good indicator of the change in water level over the weekend. (Public domain.)

Views of the water pond in Halema‘uma‘u on Friday, September 6, and Monday, September 9 are shown in this video. Ripples are evident on the pond, presumably due to wind moving over the water surface. No significant changes in the pond were observed over the weekend, and the water level continues to slowly rise. USGS video by M. Patrick.
