According to the US drought Monitor, significant precipitation, including high-
elevation snow, will continue into Thursday across the Rockies and environs, but
dry weather will prevail from southern California into the Desert Southwest. A
period of very cool weather will trail the storminess, but warmth will return to
the Pacific Coast by Friday and expand eastward during the weekend.  All hay is
reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise noted.  Regions are defined at
