As of 07:00 Hrs this am we have overcst skies, limited visibility and it is snowing lightly.
FORECAST:
A weakening low pressure system moving down the coast will bring cloudy conditions with light snowfall in a West-Southwest flow aloft. As the low moves south, another low from the South will eventually combine, bringing several weak frontal bands, but their intensity and timing are very difficult to forecast. Several breaks over the next couple of days will bring unsettled conditions into the mix as well. Sunday is looking like the best chance for any real accumulations. Guesstimates: 5-15 cm for Saturday morning, 6-8 cm for Sunday morning, 15-20 cm for Monday morning.
Low moving down the coast.
Unsettled Saturday with more cloud for Sunday.
