 .DISCUSSION...
 Light snowfall will form across the north later tonight, as a 
 favorable fetch of moisture sets up off of the Great Lakes. Light 
 snowfall accumulations are expected, mainly across the northern 
 mountains and adjacent counties.   
 
 Temperatures will continue to moderate this week, with many 
 locations outside of the mountains rising above freezing during the 
 daytime. This will cause a lot of our remaining snow and river ice 
 to melt away across the lower elevations. While we aren't expecting 
 major flooding, we will be watching for ice jams on local rivers 
 throughout the week.
 
 We are watching another storm system looking to impact the area by 
 Sunday. This could bring moderate rain to the area, and periods of 
 wintry weather to parts of the mountains.
