A Wind Advisory has been issued for Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau until 6:00 PM HST today, September 27, with east winds of 25-35 mph and gusts up to 55 mph expected, prompting advisories to secure loose items and prepare for potential power outages.

A Wind Advisory has been issued for Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau, effective immediately until 6:00 PM HST this evening, September 27. The National Weather Service in Honolulu warns of east winds ranging from 25 to 35 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 55 mph.

Residents are advised to watch out for falling tree branches when walking or driving. Tents and awnings should be secured or taken down to prevent damage. Preparation for potential power outages is also recommended.

The strongest winds are anticipated on Oahu, particularly over and downwind of terrain. These conditions can cause shingles to tear off, tree branches to fall, and make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.
