.DISCUSSION...
Cooling temperatures, lowering pressure, and chances of rain/snow
are expected throughout the week. Rain is more likely through
Tuesday with snow accumulations becoming possible late Tuesday. What
snow does fall is not very likely to accumulate below 1000 feet and
any snow that does manage to accumulate will melt throughout the day.
Strong overnight inversions will develop when skies are clear.
Cloudy skies are expected Monday night, resulting in only a weak
inversion which dissipates very early Tuesday morning, but larger
gaps in the clouds could allow for the formation of a strong shallow
inversion Tuesday night.
