HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Strong easterly winds, especially during the daytime hours, will allow any fires that occur in leeward areas to spread quickly.
The winds have already prompted a WIND ADVISORY to be extended until 6 p.m. Tuesday for portions of Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe and Hawaii Island, where east winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour and gusts to 50 miles per hour are possible.
No fire watches or warnings have been issued by the National Weather Service because critical fire weather conditions have not been reached. However, your weather team believes that dry brush in leeward areas that are in drought, combined with gusty winds, will increase the threat for dangerous fire conditions.
