.DISCUSSION...

Light rain is exiting the Quad State region over the next couple
hours. Winds become WNW following a cold frontal passage, only
decreasing tonight as high pressure moves through. A wintry mix is
forecast Monday through Tuesday with primarily snow in the
northwest, mainly rain in the southeast, and some sleet and
freezing rain mixing in in between. Any snow cover will help
continue below normal temperatures for the remainder of the week.
