Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1800 PST on February 03.
If conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather
Service.

.DISCUSSION...A low pressure system over the area will bring
colder temperatures and chances for snow showers throughout the
time frame. Expect mostly dry conditions through early Tuesday
afternoon; however, chances for snow showers increase Tuesday
evening and last through Wednesday. Guidance suggests a 70% chance
that 24 hour snow totals exceed 2 inches, ending 4 PM Wednesday.
Generally not too concerned for visibility reduction, but if a
heavy snow shower passes through, it could briefly reduce
visibility to around 5 SM or less. Dress warmly to prevent
hypothermia.
