scattered snow showers continue to prompt periods of IFR/LIFR 
through today. Meanwhile, improvement to MVFR/VFR will occur 
outside of any heavier snow showers. The snow showers dissipate 
this evening as high pressure builds into the area, allowing for
a VFR night tonight amid very dry air and mid-high cloud

ernest tonight, becoming calm to light and variable. Moderate to
strong west to northwest flow aloft early this morning becomes
light west for this afternoon and tonight.
