DISCUSSION
TODAY THE WINTER SYSTEM THAT HAS IMPACTED THE AREA
FOR THE LAST COUPLE DAYS WILL SLOWLY DECAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT DRIFTS SOUTH. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, RIDGING WILL
DEVELOP CAUSING STABLE CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS. REPORTS FROM
THE AREA INDICATE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW MAY HAVE FALLEN RECENTLY
AT THE BURN SITE, WE EXPECT THAT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO
MELT, WHICH WILL KEEP THE HUMIDITY HIGH. THE RAWS STATIONS IN THE
AREA ARE NOT HEATED, SO MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION THAT FELL AS
SNOW HASN'T BEEN MEASURED YET BY THE STATIONS IN THE AREA.
