A Red Flag Warning is issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu for leeward Hawaiian Islands due to strong northeast winds, low humidity, and dry fuels, increasing wildfire risk and potential rapid fire spread. Tropical Storm Hone may contribute to these hazardous conditions, possibly necessitating Public Safety Power Shutoffs in high wildfire risk areas. Hawaiian Electric has not yet decided on shutoffs but is monitoring the situation closely.
