some broken mid-level clouds hanging around this morning. Today will be the coldest day with warmer air

The jet stream
will begin to shift towards the PNW over the next few days. This will usher in warmer air and a series of
storms starting on Sunday. Light snow
will begin tomorrow night and intensify on Sunday.
Freezing levels will have to be watched closely as they quickly rise to
+- 4000’ with these next few storms.
The Long Range: Several fronts will form as this system matures
through the weekend. Heavy snow with a chance of mixed rain can
be expected on Monday and then again on
Tuesday/Wednesday. Active weather will
