Update: The Red Flag Warning has been extended until 6PM HST Sunday, Aug. 3.
Original Post:
A Red Flag Warning remains in effect in Hawaii until 6PM HST Friday, for the Leeward portions of all islands and interior sections of the Big Island.
Featured in the DisasterAWARE screenshot is the “U.S. Watches, Warnings and Advisories” layer. Areas currently under a Red Flag Warning are highlighted in pink.
Easterly winds are expected to reach 15–30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph on Oahu and Kauai. Gusts up to 50 mph are possible on Maui County and the Big Island. Afternoon humidity levels will drop to 35–45 percent. These conditions can lead to extreme fire behavior, and any fires that start may spread rapidly. A Red Flag Warning does not predict new fire starts.

A slow-moving cold front is expected to bring heavy rain and potentially severe thunderstorms today, July 31, across the urban corridor stretching from Washington, D.C., through Philadelphia, and into New York City. A moderate risk for excessive rainfall has been forecast from the Delmarva region up through northern New Jersey. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are likely within this area, with isolated totals exceeding 3 inches possible. With repeated rounds of storms expected, the risk for flash flooding is elevated—particularly in urbanized areas. Damaging wind gusts are possible for these areas.
The animation shown features the “Precipitation Forecast (USA)” layer, which displays projected precipitation totals in 6-hour intervals, extending out to 42 hours.
