A Wind Advisory has been issued for parts of Oahu, Molokai, and Maui, effective immediately until Monday, September 28, 2026, at 6:00 AM HST. Residents in affected areas should take precautions to secure outdoor items and be prepared for potential power outages.
The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued this advisory for Oahu's North Shore, Central Oahu, East Honolulu, Honolulu Metro, and Koolau Leeward areas. On Molokai, the North, West, and Leeward South regions are included. Maui's Windward West, Central Valley North, and Kipahulu areas are also under the advisory.
East winds are expected to reach 20 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph, primarily over and downwind of terrain on Oahu. These strong winds can cause significant impacts, including tearing off shingles, knocking down tree branches, and blowing away tents and awnings. Drivers of high-profile vehicles may find it difficult to steer.
Residents are advised to watch out for falling tree branches when walking or driving. Ensure that all tents and awnings are securely fastened or taken down. Additionally, be prepared for potential power outages as a result of the strong winds.
