Event narrative

Snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches occurred above the 7000-foot level. Travel to the summit was restricted at times.

Wider weather episode

An upper low near the Aloha State helped generate showers and thunderstorms, and snow at the higher elevations, over Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. The system also helped generate a severe thunderstorm on the Big Island. The rain events caused occasional problems, as debris flows shut down parts of roadways on the Big Island on the 29th and 30th. No serious property damage or injuries were reported, however.
