A cold front is bringing periods of moderate snow and gusty winds to the summits of Big Island, and freezing rain to the summit of Haleakalā on Maui.

The wintry conditions have prompted a winter weather advisory, in effect for areas above the 9,000 foot elevation until 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021.

The Haleakalā Summit on Maui was closed as of 4 p.m. due to dangerously icy roadways, and will remain closed until road conditions improve.
