A wind advisory issued for portions of Hawai‘i Island has been extended until 6 a.m. Saturday.
Northeast winds of 15 to 30 mph are expected in the northern and southern portions of the Big Island, with gusts up to 50 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Winds this strong can tear off shingles, knock down tree branches, blow away tents and awnings and make it difficult to steer, especially for drivers of high profile vehicles.
But the high surf advisory for east- and north-facing shores of the Big Island has been canceled.
