...COLDER CONDITIONS RETURN FRIDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND WITH
SLICK ROADS POSSIBLE...

Warm and dry conditions will continue through Thursday, but a
series of weak weather systems will bring a return to colder
winter conditions late Friday through this weekend. While some
uncertainty remains for where snow falls especially by the
weekend, anyone planning travel especially early Saturday should
be prepared for areas of slick roads and possible delays.

* The first system will bring an area of rain with mountain snow
late Thursday night through early Friday afternoon, mainly
south of US-50. Although snowfall totals are expected to be on
the light side, some travel impacts could be encountered for
higher elevation segments of US-395 in Mono County and around
Mammoth Lakes.

* A colder air mass will move quickly across all of eastern
California and western Nevada Friday night, with bands of snow
showers developing through Saturday. Overall snowfall amounts
are likely to be light again, but with colder air in place any
snow that falls could produce slick travel conditions even in
lower elevations, especially for Saturday morning. Additional
light snow showers are possible through the remainder of the
weekend.
