FORECAST:
Unsettled cold weather for today with a mix of sun & cloud in a Northerly flow aloft. Even colder valley temperatures tomorrow with a mix of sun and cloud. Might be wrong on this one, but the low to our South could easily send some precipitation our way Tuesday night into Wednesday. We are just on the edge but have to think its coming. More weather on the way for the latter part of the week.
Guesstimates: Trace-2 cm by Tuesday morning, 4-6 cm by Wednesday morning, 10-15 cm by Thursday morning.
