The flow advanced 275 yards in the past day in an east-northeast direction.
“As the flow activity continues to show signs of advancement, businesses in the Pahoa Marketplace may be taking necessary steps to prepare for a possible evacuation,” Civil Defense said. “Motorists are advised to drive with caution and to be prepared for increased traffic and large vehicles in the area.”
Smoke conditions were moderate in the immediate area with a light north wind blowing smoke in a south-southeast direction, Civil Defense said.
