TONIGHT...

SNOW AND WINDS MAY PRODUCE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ON THE BIG ISLAND SUMMITS
TONIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 INCHES AND 30 TO 40 MPH SOUTHERLY WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE.

A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND/OR

THIS CAN LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY
DANGEROUS.
