.DISCUSSION...

Expect some variable and changing wind directions through the day
today as we transition into the next incoming clipper system.
Winds are expected to eventually settle on southeasterly, but that
won`t be until later in the afternoon. Look for a pretty strong
inversion to be in place today, especially during the morning,
which should keep dispersal conditions poor. There might be some
patchy freezing drizzle or flurries this morning, but then we`re
expecting dry air to move in for the mid-day to early afternoon
hours. There will be increasing chances for some snow late-
afternoon into the evening as a clipper system passes through, but
models have been trending to keep most of the snow south, so it
wouldn`t be surprising if very little snow falls at the site.
