.DISCUSSION...A ridge of high pressure will bring tranquil conditions

early this morning with gradually increasing southeasterly winds.

Winds will continue to gradually increase through the day as the 

ridge moves off to the east and a unseasonably strong area of low

pressure approaches from the west. This area of low pressure will

move through the area Sunday and Monday, with a cold front moving

through the area Sunday afternoon. Precipitation will initially 

begin as rain below 8500 feet, but snow levels will quickly drop 

down to around 6000 feet Sunday evening and to valley floors 

overnight when showers will diminish. Valley area of the burn site 

may see up to 1 inch of snow, with 1-4 inches for higher 

elevations. Cool, generally dry conditions will then persist through

the workweek with only slight chances of afternoon showers on Tuesday, 

Thursday and Friday. Clearing indicies look excellent each day.
