STORY SUMMARY

(BIVN) - As cleanup begins following a weekend of high surf, the road to the summit of Mauna Kea is closed due to icy conditions.

UPDATE (10:40 a.m.) – The Winter Weather Advisory has been discontinued. Mauna Kea Access Road is now open.

(BIVN) – The National Weather Service has cancelled the High Surf Advisory for Hawaii Island.

Hawaii County Civil Defense says that after a clean up of debris from the high surf, Onekahakaha Beach Park and Coconut Island Park will re-open this morning.

UPDATE (11:30 a.m.) – The Hilo Bayfront Highway, which was closed due to the high surf splashing water and debris onto the road, is now open, Civil Defense says.

The only remaining weather alert pertains to Big Island summit areas above 12,000 feet of elevation, where a Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect until noon Sunday.

The National Weather Service says deep moisture and cold air aloft will produce light snow and icy roads on the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

The road to the summit of Mauna Kea is currently closed. Rangers reported wet roadways, along with below freezing temperatures, were causing icy road conditions. Webcams showed clear skies at 8:30 a.m.
