Red Flag Warning Updates for Hawaii Counties

The red flag warning has been canceled for Oahu but remains in effect for the leeward areas of Maui County and Hawaii Island until 6 p.m. today. The warning is issued due to a combination of strong winds, low humidity, and dry fuels that increase the risk of wildfires. Lahaina's four public schools have been closed as a precaution. A wind advisory is also in effect for parts of all islands until 6 p.m. Monday, with strong winds expected to knock down tree branches and make driving difficult. Increasing showers are forecasted for Kauai and Oahu, while Maui County and the Big Island remain dry.
