A winter weather advisory is in effect for Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa until 6 p.m. Sunday. A cold trough and deep moisture over the island will bring snow to the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches, with localized amounts up to 4 inches, are expected.
The public is asked to postpone travel to the summits until conditions improve.
