FORECAST:
A strengthening low will eventually pass over the area in a Southwest flow aloft. As the low passes through we should see the winds pick up. A strong trailing cold front will bring colder temperatures this afternoon. The front will pass through by tonight with a few flurries in its wake. Looks like most of the snow in this system will be South bound. By Wednesday the flow aloft will become Northwesterly with cool temperatures and clear skies. A weak frontal system will push through Thursday morning with some cloud but its very dry. High rebuilds Friday into Christmas.
Guesstimates: 10-20 cm by Wednesday morning, trace-1cm by Friday morning.

Cold front coming down the coast.
