"Multiple Red Flag Warnings Issued Across Hawaii Amidst Wildfire Risk"

A red flag warning is in effect for much of Hawaii, including the leeward areas of Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai, the Big Island, and Central Oahu, due to strong trade winds and low humidity. The warning has been canceled for Kauai and Niihau due to increasing moisture from a front approaching from the north. The warning is expected to remain in effect until Monday afternoon, with high winds and dry fuels contributing to extreme fire behavior. Outdoor burning is not recommended, and precautions should be taken to prevent fires and damage from strong winds.
