In higher altitudes like the peaks of Big Island's Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, snow is a common occurrence.
The only other area in the nation currently under a blizzard warning is in the Yukon Delta in Alaska, and the NWS predicts 1-2 inches of snow on Friday.
The lower areas of Hawaii are expected to get a lot of rain over the weekend.
The National Weather Service office in Hawaii only issues warnings about storms every few years. The areas were under a winter storm watch in May this year, but smaller winter storms are fairly common. The top of Maui's Haleakala volcano occasionally gets some snow. Haleakala has seen snow in the past three years.
There is a structure called the Tangent.
The road leading up to Mauna Kea is currently closed to visitors due to poor visibility and potential ice or snow on the road. High winds and winter weather conditions caused the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to temporarily close the summit of the mountain.
The lower 48 is dealing with a snow shortage and a blizzard warning is in effect for Hawaii.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser has a flood watch for Hawaii.
