.DISCUSSION...
Showers are likely this afternoon across Southcentral and periods
of rain and snow will persist into the weekend ahead. Cooler air
will filter through the area behind each front over the next
couple days and the chance of a rain snow mix or all snow is
possible down to sea level with highest confidence at higher
elevations. South to southwesterly flow will become gusty near
terrain gaps at times.
