Fast paced Pacific storm still forecast to move into our area today into Thursday with a chance of rain and snow showers in the High Country and the Valley foothills through Thursday afternoon. Increased winds will accompany this system so a Wind Advisory is in place today and a High Wind Watch for tomorrow. We could see gusts of 70 mph over the Crest later today into Thursday. Temps will drop 10 degrees or more today and Thursday.
