...WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR THOMPSON PASS IS CANCELLED...

Temperatures are expected to remain too warm with the forecast
winds for wind chills to reach criteria. Nevertheless, wind chills
to 35 below are possible at times tonight, so precautions should
still be taken to reduce skin exposure to the very cold conditions.
