The top low shifts eastward into the Great Basin on Monday. This will shift the bathing threat again eastward via Monday afternoon so that the main bathing pastime might be over the mountains. By the afternoon, snow ranges must be above pass degrees, with daytime highs mountain climbing a chunk, although ultimate underneath regular.
