FORECAST:
A warm front will push through this morning with periods of light to moderate precipitation in a Westerly flow aloft. The freezing level has the potential to rise to 1500 meters dropping back to 800 meters tonight with the passage of the trailing cold front. Saturday will be unsettled as an upper level trough leaves the area Saturday morning with a dry air mass and a weak ridge building for the afternoon. Looks to be a nice afternoon with a mix of sun and cloud. Sunday is looking to be a mostly dry cloudy day with the chance of some flurries. Guesstimates: 10-20 cm by Saturday morning, trace-1 cm by Sunday morning, trace -1cm by Monday morning.
