 .DISCUSSION...
 We will remain quite cold and brisk through Friday, with snow 
 showers likely in and near the mountains, into Friday. Flurries are 
 possible even out into the lowlands overnight.
 
 After a very cold start Saturday morning, we should start to 
 gradually warm up over the weekend. A new low pressure system is set 
 to bring snow into the area Saturday night, but the snow should 
 change to rain at least across the lowlands on Sunday, even before 
 dawn in some areas.
 
 A mixed wintry precipitation event is likely on Tuesday, as the next 
 low pressure system tracks mainly south and east of the area.
