.DISCUSSION...A low pressure system will continue to bring periods
of snow into the morning hours before tapering to scattered showers
by this afternoon. Additional snowfall of 2-4" is the most likely
range this morning with water equivalent in the .20-.33" range. A
more stable airmass will follow for Friday and remain in place
through Saturday allowing for a warming and drying trend but with
limited ventilation.

By Sunday southwesterly flow will strengthen ahead of the next cold
front, which will cross the area Sunday night. This will be
accompanied by a band of snow Sunday night into Monday morning.
This storm system will be fairly quick moving, thus snow amounts of
1-3" with water equivalent of .10-.25" looks most likely. A gradual
warming and drying trend will follow for the middle to latter portion
of next week.
