SNOW ACCUMULATION BEFORE NOON. IF IT CLEARS OUT A HEAVY FROST IS
LIKELY DUE TO MOISTURE FROM RECENT RAINS. SHOWERS COULD LINGER

INTO THE AREA BY THE AFTERNOON FOR DRIER CONDITIONS AND SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES. THE RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE...POSSIBLY
THROUGH THURSDAY...BUT THE NEXT PACIFIC SYSTEM IS DUE BY THE END
