As of 7am today, the National Weather Service’s wind advisory for all Hawaiʻi Island districts is canceled. However, the high wind warning for Big Island summits remains in effect through Sunday for areas above 8,000 feet.
A High Surf Warning remains in effect for all west facing shores from Upolu Point in North Kohala to South Point in Ka`u through tomorrow. 12 to 16 foot surf is forecast. Surf this large can damage property, cause injury, and is life-threatening. Beach-goers, swimmers, and surfers exercise caution and heed all advice given by ocean safety officials.
Road and repair crews continue to conduct debris removal and power restoration to areas damaged by the recent high winds. All major arterial roads have been reopened.
