The majority of snow will move out of the western and central region by Sunday afternoon, NWS said. Skies will clear tonight with the passage of system, which is when the coldest temperatures will set in.

“High temperatures will be in the teens for the most part with single digits in most mountains. Some lower elevation spots will struggle to 10 above. Thus record low high temps will occur just about everywhere,” said NWS.
-20 degree temperatures could affect some of the lower valleys, NWS said. The snow is reported to be light and fluffy, making it easier to shovel but more likely to blow and drift, affecting travel routes.
