 .DISCUSSION...
 The area will turn much colder today, with many places waking up to 
 teens to low 20s this morning. Cold Weather Advisories and Winter 
 Weather Advisories have been issued for the central and northern 
 mountains into this afternoon with the higher elevations lasting 
 into Friday morning. 
 
 Snow showers and even a few snow squalls later this morning could 
 lead to slick road conditions across much of the area for the 
 morning commute. By afternoon, most snow showers will turn to 
 flurries except for the higher terrain who may see some additional 
 accumulations into the late afternoon and early evening. 
 
 After a brief break tonight into Friday, active weather returns 
 through the weekend with occasional snow showers and below normal 
 temperatures.
