 .DISCUSSION...
 The work week will end with the return of active weather, as a 
 clipper system is anticipated to bring a slew of weather hazards 
 down into the area.
 
 Snow, heavy at times, will promote accumulations from Friday morning 
 through Saturday morning. Accumulation amounts will range from 1 to 
 4 inches in the lower elevations to as much as 4 to 8 inches along 
 the higher terrain. This disturbance is also anticipated to stir up 
 strong wind gusts along the mountains for the start of the weekend, 
 in addition to dangerously low temperatures and wind chills settling 
 overhead for Saturday into Sunday. 
 
 A significant warm-up is forecast for early next week, with rain and 
 potential for localized flooding on the horizon for the middle of 
 next week.
