 .DISCUSSION...
 After another brief, one day break today, active weather 
 returns tonight, as the next cold front approaches. This front  
 brings rain and snow showers in the somewhat milder air ahead of it 
 area wide tonight into Saturday. At least light snowfall 
 accumulations will be possible in some locations even outside of the 
 mountains. In the higher mountainous terrain, Winter Weather 
 Advisories have been issued for late tonight through Saturday, for 
 the potential of up to several inches snow accumulation. 
 
 Much colder air arrives behind the front Saturday night, and behind 
 arctic fronts Sunday and Monday. This sets the stage for very cold 
 weather for the early portion of next week.
