WEATHER
We're heading into the final weekend of winter, and an active weather pattern continues to affect the West. A band of snow is exiting the state after a cold front passed through yesterday. This will lead to much cooler temperatures for Friday, with most areas only reaching the mid to upper 30s and lower 40s. It will be a breezy day (10 to 20 mph for most) with increasing clouds in the afternoon and the possibility of an isolated flurry or light rain/snow shower.
The weekend is going to be unsettled, but we're mainly dealing with mountain snow as another Pacific storm system moves in. There could be a foot or two of snow in the higher peaks of the northern Rockies by Monday. Expect winter driving conditions if you plan to travel over mountain passes with up to 6 inches of snow possible at pass level. In the lower elevations, scattered rain and snow showers will occur throughout the weekend; however, more of the weekend will be dry than wet. We can expect partly to mostly cloudy skies both days.
