…Critical Fire Weather, Colder Temperatures and Widespread Snow Showers in Western U.S. Today…

Critical fire weather conditions will develop today across northeast California and northwest Nevada, where wind gusts will exceed 50 mph coupled with humidities ranging from the teens to lower 20 percent. This is in response to a strong cold front that will plunge south and east today through the Great Basin, northern and central Rockies, and northern Great Plains, dropping temperatures below seasonal values. Meanwhile, widespread light snow showers are expected across the northern Rockies today, spreading into the central Rockies and Great Basin by early Monday morning. Heavier snow accumulations can be expected along favored slopes of the higher terrain.
