Fire Weather Watch issued October 22 at 3:41PM HST until October 25 at 6:00PM HST by NWS Honolulu HI
…FIRE WEATHER WATCH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOR MAINLY LEEWARD AREAS DUE TO WINDY CONDITIONS AND LOW HUMIDITY… .Dry and windy conditions will develop during the day on both Friday and Saturday as high pressure moves east, north of the islands. This will increase the local pressure gradient and coincide with a pocket of drier air moving into the region, likely producing critical fire weather conditions across most central and leeward areas, as well as northern portions of the Big Island. The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Fire Weather Watch for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect from Friday morning through Saturday afternoon. * AFFECTED AREA…Leeward portions of all Hawaiian Islands, including interior sections of Oahu and the Big Island and all of North Big Island. * TIMING…From Friday morning through Saturday afternoon. However, the main fire weather concerns will be from late morning through the afternoon each day when relative humidity is lowest. * WINDS…East 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY…As low as 40 to 45 percent. * IMPACTS…Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
