.DISCUSSION...Dry conditions and breezy southwest winds will
continue through tonight and into early Saturday. The pattern will
begin to shift tonight and a more active pattern will ensue late
Saturday into next week. A weakening front will approach the
region on Saturday, and this will bring increasing southwest winds
on Saturday. It`ll likely remain dry, but there is around a 20%
chance of some light rain late day Saturday. A stronger front is
anticipated late Sunday into Monday which will bring stronger
winds (gusts 40-50 mph), lowering snow levels (down to 4500 ft)
and accumulating snow by Monday morning.
