...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM PST
MONDAY...

* WHAT...Snow and blowing snow expected. Lower elevation areas
where temperatures are below freezing prior to the onset of
precipitation may briefly see freezing rain shortly before the
snow begins.

Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches expected in valleys
above 5500 feet with smaller amounts below that elevation.
Elevations between about 6000 and 8000 feet could see 3 to 6
inches of snow. Elevations above 8000 feet will generally get
between 5 and 8 inches, with more than a foot in the highest
mountains. Northwest wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph in the
valleys and up to 70 mph on mountain peaks.

* WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast and south central
Nevada. Valleys expected to receive the highest snow amounts
will be in northern Elko County. Mountain ranges such as
Jarbidge, Independence, Ruby, East Humboldt, Pinon, and
Toiyabe will get the most snow.

* WHEN...From 4 PM today to 4 PM PST Monday with highest snow
amounts expected to occur between midnight tonight and Monday
morning, tapering off midday Monday. The strongest wind gusts
will be Monday after the front moves through.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The
hazardous conditions will impact the morning commute. The snow
is expected to be wet, which could freeze on roads and bring
down some tree branches. Blowing snow will be an additional
hazard for travel.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means periods of snow will
cause primarily travel difficulties. Expect snow covered roads
and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.

The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can
