Tropical Storm Hone steadily approaches Hawaii, threatening floods and fires
The HinduTropical Storm Hone, whose name is Hawaiian for “sweet and soft,” drew near the islands Saturday with breezes that were expected to intensify – and increase the wildfire risk for drier parts of the state even as memories are still fresh from last year’s deadly blazes on Maui. But while Hone presents high fire dangers, “it’s not on the magnitude of that,” weather service meteorologist Derek Wroe in Honolulu said Saturday. The island was getting enough rain later Saturday to cancel its red flag warning, though a warning remained in effect for the other islands, said Ian Morrison, a weather service meteorologist in Honolulu. “Officials were closing some Big Island beach parks in anticipation of dangerously high surf and preparing to open shelters if needed,” Mr. Roth said.
