.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures will stay below normal this week, 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 the first full week of February. There is potential for
additional rounds of wintry precipitation Tuesday into Wednesday
and again Friday into Saturday.
