WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR LEEWARD AREAS...
The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Red Flag
Warning, which is in effect from 10 AM to 6 PM HST Saturday.
* AFFECTED AREA...Leeward portions of all Hawaiian Islands.
* WIND...Northeast 30 to 40 mph with localized gusts up to 50 mph.
* HUMIDITY...As low as 40 percent.
* IMPACTS...A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity,
and dry fuels can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires
that develop will likely spread rapidly.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now or will shortly. A Red Flag Warning does
not predict new fire starts.
High winds contribute to wildfire hazard. Delay activities that
could throw off sparks until the wind dies down.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.
