Winds, low humidity increase chance of brush fires, Weather Service says


Advertiser Staff

The National Weather Service has issued a warning about potential brush fires for the leeward areas of all Hawaii islands through Sunday.

The red flag warning is in effect because of strong, gusty winds and low humudity.

A high pressure area is boosting trade winds and humidity is low. The threat will lessen overnight but remains in effect through Sunday afternoon, the Weather Service says.
