A winter storm warning continues for the summits of Haleakala and Hawaii island as cold air continues to move over the isles, weather officials said.

In addition to periods of freezing rain and snow, travel to the summits will remain extremely dangerous and should be avoided, officials said. The warning remains in effect through 6 p.m. Thursday.

The summit district at Haleakala National Park will remain closed through Friday, officials said, due to the winter storm on Sunday that left snow, ice, fallen trees and loose rocks on roads. Rangers are enforcing the park closure at the summit entrance at the 6,500-foot elevation level to ensure visitor safety.

“We look forward to welcoming visitors back up here when the weather warms and conditions are safe,” said superintendent Natalie Gates in a news release.

The Kipahulu district of Haleakala National Park, meanwhile, remains open as well as the Kipahulu campground and Pools of ‘Ohe‘o.

Overnight temperatures statewide dipped into the 50s and 60s and will continue to hover in the high 60s as a weak cold front passes through the islands, the National Weather Service said.

Forecasters said colder air, showers and breezy to windy trade winds will ride in behind the front as it passes through the islands today. In addition, a sharp, upper-level trough will enhance clouds and showers behind the front, strong trade winds will lift these showers over windward and mountain areas through this evening with rain drifting into leeward sections.

A new “Kona low” will develop over the state on Thursday, bringing more unsettled, wet weather through Sunday. Unsettled weather is expected to linger over Hawaii through the first half of next week as the low drifts toward the northwest away from the islands.

A high surf warning for the eastern shores from Kauai to the Big Island remains in effect through 6 p.m. Thursday as a large, north-northwest swell builds. Life-threatening surf of 18 to 22 feet is expected along those shores today, lowering to 14 to 18 feet Thursday, the weather service said. A high surf advisory also remains in effect for the northern shores from Kauai to the Big Island through 6 p.m. Thursday.

Weather officials also issued marine weather statement warning of strong surges into exposed north facing harbors, including Kahului and Hilo, through Thursday.

Besides strong, breaking waves, weather officials warn of strong longshore and rip currents. Anyone entering the waters at shores under the high surf warning could face significant injury or death, they said.
