Emergency warning sirens will not be tested Tuesday to avoid any confusion as Hurricane Ignacio passes and Hurricane Jimena nears the Hawaiian Islands.
The sirens are normally sounded at 11:45 a.m. on the first working day of the month, however, because of the nearby storms, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency and Hawaii County Civil Defense opted to forgo the islandwide testing on Tuesday.
The next regularly scheduled monthly testing is slated for Thursday, Oct. 1.
