Hawaii is under severe weather warnings, including high winds, thunderstorms, and flash floods, as a storm approaches.
Meteorologists warned of a rare low-pressure system that will bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and snow to Hawaii's summits.
Although it usually happens once or twice a year, this will be a very big snow for the tops of the volcanoes in Hawaii. One to two feet of snow will be possible.
For the summit areas of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, the high wind warning is already in effect and will continue until 6 a.m.
Due to ongoing severe weather across Hawaii, numerous schools, businesses, events, and parks have closed for the day.
A Kona storm is going to push through Hawaii this week, bringing the threat of heavy rain, flooding and yes, even snow.
From national parks to crucial access routes and rural communities, the expected rough weather is forcing closures across the island chain.
