The National Weather Service’s Honolulu Forecast Office is predicting 30 to 40 mph west to southwest winds on Big Island summits, with gusts up to 50 mph, until Tuesday evening.

A wind advisory is in effect and motorists in the affected areas are asked to drive carefully. Winds this strong can bring down tree branches and make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles, forecasters said.
