.DISCUSSION...
Drier, warmer, and more breezy tomorrow. This will be short lived
as the pattern supports more rain and wintry precipitation
through
the weekend. Most of this wintry precipitation looks to fall
north
of the foothills and in the mountains. Monday appears to be
another break in precipitation before some light snow Tuesday.
