 .DISCUSSION...
 Flurries and light snow showers in the mountains diminish 
 through tonight, as the upper level component of an 
 east coast snowstorm exits. Light dustings remain possible.
 
 Temperatures will drop into the single digits again tonight, 
 even locally into the single digits below zero. Winds will diminish 
 tonight as high pressure builds in, but wind chills over the higher 
 ridges will remain in the teens below zero, as a stiff wind 
 persists there.
 
 A slow warm-up is expected to start on Monday, but is not likely to 
 be long-lived. In fact, a low pressure system will bring 
 accumulating snow to portions of the area late Tuesday and Tuesday 
 night.
 
 Another arctic outbreak is due to arrive Friday evening.
