Red flag warnings expire Saturday evening, but winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories will remain in effect for the mountains due to difficult travel conditions through Monday morning.

Saturday night through Monday morning, some areas will pick up 9-18 inches of snow, with isolated snowfall totals closer to 2 feet. This paired with strong wind gusts up to around 70 mph will lead to blowing snow and low visibility.
