.DISCUSSION...
Moisture starts increasing ahead of a front that moves across
Thursday. Should bring some wetting showers to the mountains,
but appears most will be limited to none at all for rain.

Colder air pushes in behind this front Thursday night
into Friday and west to northwest winds also increase. Look
for snow showers at times in the mountains while things stay
dry to the east. Wind gusts 15 to 30 mph will be common Friday
into Saturday.

Dry and unseasonably cool weather remains into early next week.
