A Wind Advisory is now in effect until 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025.

The National Weather Service is forecasting northeast to east winds, blowing at 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.

This covers the Maui Central Valley North, Maui Central Valley South, Big Island North, and Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island.

The NWS advises that winds this strong can tear off shingles, knock down tree branches, blow away tents and awnings and make it difficult to steer, especially for drivers of high profile vehicles.
