A blizzard warning is in effect for Hawaii’s Big Island mountain summits, with forecasters warning that up to eight inches of snow is possible on Sunday.
The warning in effect through 6 a.m. local time for the mountain region said that “travel should be restricted to emergencies only,” the National Weather Service said.
“Blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility at times, with periods of zero visibility,” the agency said.
In addition to eight inches of snow potentially being dumped on the region, there may also be winds of up to 125 miles per hour, forecasters said.
Blizzard warnings for Hawaii are rare, but not unheard of in the tropical destination.
The last blizzard warning issued by the National Weather Service in Hawaii was more than three and half years ago, CNN reported.
The Big Island has summits that reach heights of nearly 14,000 feet.
