.DISCUSSION...
High pressure moves through today, accompanied by light winds and
limited dispersion. A rain/snow mix moves through Saturday, with
impacts limited to areas which receive brief heavy snow during the
morning hours. Breezy southerly winds Saturday give way to a
frontal passage shifting winds to the WNW Saturday night. With
well below normal temperatures early next week, another wintry
system is possible Monday night into Tuesday.
