HAZARDOUS WEATHER
Hazardous weather is not expected today or tonight.
A cold front arriving Sunday morning is expected to bring very gusty winds Sunday across the mountains which could cause isolated power outages. The front also will lead to a rapid drop in temperatures during the day. High temperatures Sunday afternoon may be below freezing in many parts of the mountains, and wind chills are likely to fall below zero Sunday afternoon or evening and remain so through Monday morning.
