.DISCUSSION...
A disturbance moving through the region will contribute to gusty
winds this afternoon. An isolated snow shower is not out the
question. However, this activity is expected to remain in the
higher elevations of the San Juans today. With slightly stronger
than normal overnight winds and cool air tonight, wind chills will
dip to near zero around the spot. Although chances remain low
again on Sunday, a snow shower or two could affect the southern
foot hills. At any rate, snow accumulation is highly unlikely at
or below 9000 feet.
