The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for leeward areas of all islands due to gusty winds and low relative humidity. The warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday.
Red flag conditions are expected through early this evening, and again Thursday morning through Thursday afternoon.
Winds are forecast to be 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. Relative humidity is expected to be as low as 45%.
The NWS advises that combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop can spread rapidly. A Red Flag Warning does not predict new fire starts.
