...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 6 PM HST FRIDAY FOR
WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR LEEWARD AREAS...

The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Red Flag
Warning for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect
from 10 AM to 6 PM HST Friday. The Fire Weather Watch is no
longer in effect.

* AFFECTED AREA...Leeward portions of all Hawaiian Islands.

* TIMING...From 10 AM to 6 PM HST Friday.

* WINDS...East 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 40 to 45 percent.

* IMPACTS...A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity,
  and dry fuels can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires
  that develop will likely spread rapidly. A Red Flag Warning does
  not predict new fire starts.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Outdoor burning is not recommended.

Heat from vehicle exhaust systems can ignite dry grass. Park cars
on areas that are paved or where vegetation is trimmed and
cleared.

High winds contribute to wildfire hazard. Delay activities that
could throw off sparks until the wind dies down.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now or will shortly. A combination of strong
winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior. A Red Flag Warning does not
predict new fire starts.
