... Snow Advisory remains in effect until 11 am PDT Monday...

A Snow Advisory remains in effect until 11 am PDT Monday.

Heavy snow showers will track slowly across the region tonight
and Monday... producing accumulations of 1 to 3 inches. Due to the
highly convective nature of these showers... wide ranges in
accumulations can be expected... with localized amounts around 4
inches not uncommon.

A Snow Advisory means that periods of snow will cause primarily
travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and
limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.

This advisory includes the following locations... Coeur D'Alene...
Post Falls... Hayden... Spokane... Cheney... Davenport... Rockford.

Statement as of 4:21 AM PDT on April 19, 2008

... Unseasonably cold weather expected across northwest California
this weekend...

A cold area of low pressure aloft currently over British Colombia
will settle southwards over Oregon and Washington later this
afternoon.

Rain showers will begin to develop across northern portions of
northwest California this morning... with shower activity
increasing through the afternoon and evening hours for the
remainder of the region. Rain will begin to mix with snow later
this afternoon as unseasonably cold air filters into the region
through the day.

Snow levels will lower from around 3500 to 4000 feet in the morning
down to 2500 feet by the late afternoon. Snow levels will lower
further late Saturday night to between 1500 and 2500 feet. With
warm ground temperatures in place... only brief snow accumulations
of up to an inch are expected.

With low freezing levels... elevations down to the coast may see
small hail or a light snow mix in heavier showers Saturday night
and during the day on Sunday.

Freezing overnight temperatures are expected tonight and Sunday
night... especially in regions sheltered from wind. Efforts should
be undertaken to move or cover plants which are susceptible to the
cold. Motorists traveling through the region this weekend should
be prepared for cold temperatures... slippery and hazardous driving
conditions. For the latest weather information check NOAA Weather
Radio or www.Weather.Gov/Eureka.

Looks like it'll get us just a bit here in Mendocino County in Northwestern California, though colder temps will be the main thing it brings us. It was cold here last night, 28, which for getting into mid to late April is pretty chilly, they issued a freeze and frost warning yesterday for NW CA.

It's been an odd Spring, we had an inch of rain in late March, but so far April has been dry, though cold. We've had about 35 inches of rain in Redwood Valley this winter season, and the mountains here (and across Central and the rest of NorCal) are at 120% of normal snowfall, so we'll have a good water year, unlike last year's dismal showing (we only had about half of our normal).
