LOOK FOR FRIDAY HIGHS IN THE 70S AND 80S WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY

CONCERNS. LIGHT WINDS OR SHORT DURATION BREEZY CONDITIONS SHOULD
KEEP THE RISK LIMITED.

INTO SUNDAY. SOME RAIN MAY MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO WET SNOW.

COLDER ELEVATED AND GRASSY SURFACES. WETTING RAINS ARE ALSO LIKELY
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 2.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
NBM WAS BLENDED WITH A NUDGE FROM NBM90 FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON
HIGHS TO ACCOUNT FOR A LITTLE COMPRESSIONAL WARMING AHEAD OF THE

THIS WEEKEND, BUT REMAINS BELOW AVERAGE FOR ACCUMULATIONS GIVEN
THE WARM GROUND TEMPERATURES AND STEADIEST QPF AMOUNTS REMAINING
TO THE SOUTH.
