"Precipitation may start off as a wintry mix in some locations Monday, including the potential for some freezing rain, before switching to snow by Monday night and Tuesday. It's important to note that there remains a large amount of uncertainty in the storm track which will ultimately determine the precipitation type and amount at any one given location. As the storm comes ashore the western US, model guidance should begin to show a clearer picture so be sure to monitor the latest forecast." - Nation Weather Service
