DISCUSSION
AN INCOMING WINTER SYSTEM WILL BRING QUICKLY CHANGING WEATHER TO THE
AREA THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 36 HOURS. SNOW SHOWERS WILL SPREAD OVER THE
WET MOUNTAINS AND SURROUNDING AREAS STARTING LATE THIS MORNING,
LASTING CLEAR INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CURRENT PRECIP CHANCES ARE 40-
50 PERCENT, INCREASING TO 80 PERCENT TONIGHT AND LASTING INTO EARLY
FRIDAY.
FOR TODAY, ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD START OFF LIGHT, WITH 1-2 INCHES
EXPECTED BY TONIGHT. MEANWHILE, HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN IN THE 30S, WITH RH THIS AFTERNOON ABOVE 50 PERCENT. WINDS
WILL BE A BIT TRICKIER, WITH TWO SEPARATE UPPER SYSTEMS PASSING
THROUGH. WINDS THIS MORNING WILL BE NORTHWESTERLY, CHANGING BY MID-
AFTERNOON TO UPSLOPING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS INTO THE MOUNTAINS (SO
EASTERLY WINDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TERRAIN, AND WESTERLY ON THE
WEST SIDE). GUSTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED 15 MPH OR SO.
TONIGHT, WINDS TURN NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY AS A FRONT MOVES THROUGH,
WHICH IS ALSO WHEN WE'LL SEE THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL IN THE IMMEDIATE
AREA. THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WETS WILL LIKELY SEE 8 INCHES OR MORE
BY MIDDAY ON FRIDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE TEENS, AND WIND
GUSTS ALONG THE FRONT SHOULD INCREASE TO ABOUT 20 MPH OR SO.
MUCH COLDER CONDITIONS SET IN FRIDAY, WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S AND RH
OVER 60 PERCENT. PRECIP CHANCES WILL LINGER LATER INTO THE DAY, BUT
QUICKLY START DROPPING AS WE MOVE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
