HILO, Hawaiʻi - "Be aware of downed trees, utility disruptions, and that road closures may occur without notice," Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense stated.

(BIVN) – The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Wind Advisory for the windward side of Hawaiʻi Island, in effect from now until 6 p.m. Thursday. A strong high pressure system north of Hawaii will drive windy trades over the next few days, forecasters say.

  • Secure outdoor items such as tents and outdoor furniture.
