The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for all islands because of increased fire danger.
Forecasters say strong trade winds and dry conditions are creating critical fire weather conditions with rapid fire growth potential.
The warning is in effect for mostly leeward areas.
The breezy trade winds will likely stay with us until later in the week. We may see an increase in windward showers later tonight and Thursday night. Otherwise, rainfall is likely to remain light through Friday.
