DISCUSSION
BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY AT THE RX AREA, HAVING
SLIGHTLY BETTER SUCCESS MIXING DOWN INTO THE VALLEY FLOOR GIVEN
FAVORABLE ORIENTATION OF TERRAIN AND WINDS. WHILE I CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN AFTERNOON SNOW SHOWER, THE PROBABILITY IS
LESS THAN 20%. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING DEVELOPING THIS WEEKEND ALLOWS
FOR A WARMING TREND ACROSS THE REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
DRY CONDITIONS. OVERALL, TODAY LOOKS TO FEATURE THE GREATEST
MAGNITUDE OF WIND/GUSTS THROUGH TUESDAY.
