National Weather Service issues wind advisory for Big Island
A wind advisory is in effect from noon to 6 a.m. tomorrow for portions of Lanai, Maui and the Big Island.
According to the National Weather Service, the north side of Hawaii Island will see 20 to 30 mph winds with localized gusts up to 50 mph. Winds this strong can knock down tree branches, blow away tents and unsecured objects, and make it difficult to drive, especially for high-profile vehicles.
The public is advised to watch out for falling tree branches when walking or driving. Make sure tents and awnings are secure or take them down. Be prepared for power outages.
