Red flag warning to begin Saturday morning throughout Hawaiian Islands
A red flag warning, or critical fire weather conditions, will go into effect from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday for leeward portions of all Hawaiian Islands.
According to the National Weather Service in Honolulu, northeast winds of 30 to 40 mph are expected with localized gusts up to 50 mph. Humidity is expected to be as low as 40%.
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.
High winds contribute to wildfire hazards. Delay activities that could throw off sparks until the wind dies down.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.
