Heavy snow will fall above 4000 feet until midday before changing to rain. Snow will continue above 5000 feet until afternoon then could mix with and change to rain for a time before decreasing. A cold front will come through by Friday evening with a burst of snow in the mountains. Snow totals from Thursday evening through Friday evening could reach 5"-10" in McCall and elevations around 5000 feet. 12"-18" of snow is likely above 6000 feet including the ski areas.
