.DISCUSSION...

Enjoy the warm afternoon because by tomorrow it`ll be a distant
memory. Surface Low in Canada trekking southeast will drag a
Canadian Cold Front through on Tuesday dropping our highs 20
degrees and then an additional 10 degrees Wednesday. By the
weekend temperatures will have gone from 20 degrees above average
to 20 degrees below average.

On Wednesday the first round of snow will move into the region.
Snowfall amounts continue to show up in the Advisory range and a
Winter Weather Advisory will likely be issued by the overnight
shift.

The second round of snow moves in during the upcoming weekend and
for the moment this looks like the stronger storm system of the
two. Messaging has already begin to go out to our partners and a
Winter Storm Watch may be considered in the next 24-48 hrs if what
we`re currently seeing continues to hold true.
