The Unitas will reside on the northern fringes of the moisture associated with this low. Expect some terrain-based cumulus development this afternoon with a very low chance for a brief shower late in the afternoon and evening. A better chance for showers arrives on Saturday beneath quite a bit of cloud cover. Snowfall amounts with this system will be very light, most likely around a dusting, with less than a 15% chance for 1". Moisture will begin to depart on Sunday, but excellent overnight recovery is expected. Another low will drop across the region on Monday, once again providing for the potential for isolated showers, and keeping temperatures near to slightly below normal for the time of year. As we head into next week, a slow warming trend is expected each day, along with a slow drying trend. Overnight recovery is expected to remain good through midweek, with some drying by late in the week, when MaxRH drops down into the 65-75% range, with MinRh remaining in the 20 percent range. .TODAY...
