The leading edge of this this system will arrive this afternoon, with snow developing mid to late afternoon and continuing into the evening. Increasingly mild air will spread into the area raising snow levels near or above the burn site late tonight through Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon precipitation at the site will likely be rain as snow levels rise to near 9000 feet. Cooler air will move back into the area Tuesday night into early Wednesday as precipitation begins to wind down. From late this afternoon through Wednesday rain/snow-water equivalent in the 0.40-0.80 inch range is most likely. With the warmer temperatures moving in and a change in precip type, although snow accumulation in the 2 to 5 inch range looks likely at the site, much of this will melt off or settle by Wednesday afternoon. High pressure will become the dominant feature across the region through early next weekend and likely beyond, with no additional precipitation events on the horizon for at least the next 7-10 days. .TODAY...
