   Cold Weather Advisory.

Temperatures will remain very cold through early next week. A
strong arctic front may bring the coldest weather of the season
this weekend. Temperatures across the northern mountains are
likely to remain continuously below freezing from Friday evening
until at least Monday afternoon. As this period of unusually cold
weather prolongs, the potential for damage to infrastructure,
including burst water pipes will steadily increase.

In addition to the cold weather, confidence is increasing that wintry
precipitation will develop across the area beginning Friday evening,
continuing into Saturday, with snow expected to be the primary
precipitation type. Significant accumulations of snow are possible
across much of the area, with impacts to travel being the primary
concern.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

None.
