Strong southwest winds of 25 to 40 mph with localized gusts over 60 mph will arrive on Kauai this afternoon and evening Oahu tonight and Maui County early Wednesday.
The winds will be strong enough to blow around unsecured objects like garbage cans, lawn furniture and holiday decorations. Some damage to trees can also be expected and scattered power outages are possible. Make sure you have flashlights in the event of a power failure.
