INCHES BETWEEN 4000 AND 5000 FEET. LOCAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 18
INCHES ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS AND

SHOULD FALL ON MON. WITH THE MOUNTAIN SNOWFALL...A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE L.A./VTU/SBA MTNS. PLEASE SEE THE
LATEST WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE (LAXWSWLOX) FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

SHOULD RETURN TO ALL AREAS THRU THE DAY ON TUE. TEMPS ACROSS THE
REGION ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL SUN THRU
TUE...ALTHO THE WARMEST DAY DURING THE PERIOD SHOULD BE ON TUE.

***FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***
