.DISCUSSION... 
Temperatures will stay below normal into this weekend, but we
will see some gradual warming which will promote some snow and ice
melting. Any meltwater may refreeze at night as low temperatures
remain below freezing. Fire danger is expected to remain low 
through early next week. There is potential for additional rounds of
wintry precipitation early this morning and again Friday into 
Saturday. Winds may gust to 60 mph for the higher ridges Friday
afternoon into Saturday morning, with gusts up to 50 mph for the 
remainder of the mountains.
