Mauna Kea summit's current conditions show high humidity with freezing temperatures and thunderstorms.
Located at an elevation of 9,200 feet, the station is reporting downright wintry conditions with ice and snow on the road, freezing temperatures and thunderstorms.
A time lapse video from the summit over the last 24-48 hours shows a healthy dusting of snow falling on the mountain. Monday afternoon, temperatures dropped to 30 degrees, but factoring in wind chill, it felt like 21 degrees, officials said.
Rangers will continue monitoring road and weather conditions and will reopen the road to the public when the conditions are safe.
