A COLD CANADIAN STORM WILL DROP SOUTH INTO CALIFORNIA ON MONDAY.
THIS STORM WILL BRING LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL...ONE-HALF INCH

POSSIBLE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT IN THE SIERRA FOOTHILLS. SNOW
LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 1000 FEET IN THE FOOTHILLS
AS WELL AS THE COASTAL RANGES. THEREFORE THE SNOW COULD HAMPER
TRAVEL THROUGH SOME OF THE COASTAL PASSES.
MORE SIGNIFICANT FOR THE VALLEY MAY BE THE GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED AT
TIMES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY ON SUNDAY AND
WILL INCREASE FURTHER IN SOME AREAS ON MONDAY. THE STRONGEST
