Weather Service issues Red Flag Warning

By Ken Hupp - 67AM KPUA News

The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for all islands across the state. Forecasters say strong trade winds and dry conditions are creating critical fire weather conditions with rapid fire growth potential, especially for the leeward areas. The breezy trade winds will likely stay with us until later in the week, with light rainfall through Friday.
