Winter Weather Advisories continue from the Cascades to the Tetons. Strong wind gusts to 60 mph have prompted several wind alerts throughout the West. Another foot of snow will fall from the Cascades to the Sierra. Heavy rain will push along the coast and through the foothills, with totals of 4" to 8" possible into the Pacific Northwest.
