...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING ABOVE 6000 FEET...

* Impacts/Timing: A dramatic change in the weather is on the way
  as a very cold and wet weather system drives the snow level down
  to near 6000 feet overnight Thursday into Friday morning along
  with temperatures plummeting 30 to 50 degrees colder compared
  to Tuesday (today). Slushy snow accumulations are expected on
  the mountainous terrain, trails and dirt roads which may
  negatively affect recreation or travel. Additionally, the
  transition from very cold rain to snow and the dramatic change
  to colder weather will heighten the risk of hypothermia to those
  who are not well equipped or prepared for early winter weather
  conditions.

* In addition, a mix of smoke and variable visibility throughout
  the higher terrain will abruptly change to low visibility and
  widespread terrain obscurations. Again, it must be emphasized,
  this is a HUGE change from the current warm summer recreational
  conditions.

* Snow accumulations: 6000 to 7000 feet: 1 to 3 inches. Above 7000
  feet: 3 to 6 inches are possible...especially over the highest
  peaks.

* Locations impacted include: Highway 93 Sula to Lost Trail
  Pass, Georgetown Lake, and MacDonald Pass
