.DISCUSSION... 

High pressure will bring fair but cold weather to the region 
today, any lingering clouds over the mountains this morning 
giving way to clearing for the afternoon. Thursday features the 
passage of a dry cold front, though some passing clouds may dim 
the sun at times. A developing area of low pressure to our south
will bring the next chance for measurable precipitation to the 
area early Friday, possibly resulting in some light snow 
accumulation.
