 .DISCUSSION...
 Recent dry conditions coupled with warm and breezy conditions this 
 afternoon will lead to an increased fire danger, and residents 
 should remember that spring fire laws restrict daytime burning. A 
 strong cold front will cross the region tonight into early Monday 
 morning. This front will bring a line of heavy showers and very 
 gusty winds, and a Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire area. 
 Behind the front, temperatures will drop sharply on Monday, changing 
 rain to snow. While daytime snow accumulation will be limited by 
 warm ground temperatures, slick spots could develop on roads Monday 
 night as temperatures fall into the 20s. A hard freeze is expected 
 Monday night and Tuesday night, which will be dangerous to any 
 plants that have already started growing.
