4500 FEET OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF SHASTA COUNTY TO AROUND 5500 OVER
THE NORTHERN SIERRA NEVADA PASSES. ONLY A FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL
ARE EXPECTED BUT THERE COULD BE ENOUGH SNOWFALL TO CREATE MINOR
INCONVENIENCES TO TRAVELERS OVER THE PASSES.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY NIGHT
BUT SOME LIGHT SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVER THE SIERRA INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. CLEARING SKIES AND BREEZY NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR
