A Special Weather Statement for showers with strong gusty winds has been issued for the areas of South Kohala, Kona and the island interiors through this afternoon. Winds gust up to 55 mph are expected.

Due to the sever conditions the following actions are in effect;

Road closures may occur without warning.

Winds this strong could knock down trees and blow around unsecured objects.
