.DISCUSSION...
Cold front moves through the region from the northwest Saturday.
Elevated winds can again be expected with direction shifting to west-
northwest behind the front. Opportunity for rain and high elevation
snow across eastern Nevada Saturday, including zones 425, 470, and
469, though wetting rain across the valleys looks unlikely. The high
terrain can expect around 0.10 inches and up to 0.25 inches.
