Warnings and Notices

	Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 12:55 PM PDT on October 07, 2008 ... Big changes in the weather expected toward the end of the week and through the weekend... A very cold and wintry low pressure system will drop into the western United States Thursday... bringing a drastic change to the weather across our region. A very strong cold front is expected to move through the area Thursday... with temperatures dropping nearly 25 degrees by Friday and Saturday. Temperatures behind the cold front Thursday will only get into the upper 40s and lower 50s in the valleys... with near freezing temperatures in the High Sierra. A hard freeze is expected Friday night and Saturday as temperatures drop into the 20s in western Nevada valleys and teens in the Sierra. Although significant precipitation is not expected with this system... scattered snow showers may lead to light snow accumulations in the Sierra and valley floors of western Nevada and eastern California. People need to plan accordingly for this abrupt change to colder conditions. Temperature sensitive plants and animals should be protected or taken inside. Also water sprinkler systems and outdoor pipes should be wrapped... covered up... or drained as to avoid any damage from freezing water. Hoon
