...DISCUSSION...

COLD DRY AIR WILL TRY TO SLOWLY SEEP SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA
THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...CONSIDERABLE LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY LINGER
WELL INTO THE DAY. PATCHY FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE. A LULL IN OUR WET
ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY FOR MOST OF THE REGION...HOWEVER A
FAST MOVING SYSTEM WILL PASS TO OUR EAST AND A CHANCE FOR RAINSHOWERS
WILL EXIST OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AS A SOUTHEAST WIND FLOW
DEVELOPS AND INCREASES. OUR NEXT LARGE STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES
TUESDAY NIGHT.  TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WE SHOULD SEE MAINLY
RAIN...AND POSSIBLY HEAVY RAIN IN SOME AREAS...AND WITH THE SATURATED
GROUND IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH PRECIPITATION FOR FLOODING TO OCCUR ON
WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A GRADUAL CHANGEOVER TO SNOW WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH COLDER AIR PUSHES IN AS LOW PRESSURE EXITS TO
OUR NORTH. SNOW SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO FRIDAY BEHIND THE SYSTEM AS
THE AREA REMAINS IN A COLD NORTHWEST FLOW.
