.DISCUSSION...

Temperatuers will warm into the mid 30s today as snow moves in
from the SW today. Winds will strengthen to 10 mph with
occasional gusts to 20 mph early this afternoon. Winds will weaken
this evening and tonight, shifting around from the southwest to
southeast. Winds strengthen again as they turn west Tuesday late
morning. A more moist airmass accompanies the warmer air today,
with surface moisture values peaking early Tuesday. High RH and
higher moisture content in the air will likely result in foggy
conditions Tuesday morning. Smoke could worsen conditions as the
air will be stable during the early morning hours, potentially
leading to super fog-like conditions for a narrow window of time
Tuesday morning before winds strengthen and temperatures rise into
the high 30s.
