.DISCUSSION...
Unseasonably warm weather continues to finish out the work week,
with temperatures feeling more like April than February. Highs
through Friday will be in the 60s across the lower elevations.
A low pressure system is likely to bring rain from its warm front
today, and then rain showers, even a thunderstorm or two, from its
cold front tonight.
Colder and unsettled weather will follow for the weekend, and into
the next work week, including the possibility for snow by Sunday.
However, while the cold front whips through Friday morning, it will
take a second, drier cold front later in the day to start ushering
in the colder air.
