...Several mainly dry cold fronts will move across the region during 
this period...

3 cold fronts will likely move across the region during this period. 
Given the dry NW flow aloft, not much in the way of precip is 
anticipated with these fronts. The only exception will be across the 
C mtns where some light accums of snow will be possible.

The first boundary will affect the area during Saturday. Snow 
showers over the c mtns will be ending in the morning, with a cold 
front crossing the plains. It will be breezy across the plains on 
this day with max temps only reaching into the 50s and 60s plains 
and 30s and 40s valleys. Sat nite will likely be the coldest night 
of the extended fcst period.

Sunday and Monday the max temps will recover into the 70s plains and 
50s and 60s valleys. Dry weather is near certain.

The next front will cross the region Tuesday cooling temps back into 
the 40s and 60s plains and valleys. This front will not have much 
influence in the mtns/interior valleys. 

Temps will once again warm up Wednesday before a rather strong front 
will cross the region early Thursday. This front may bring a chance 
of some precip to the region, with snow higher elevations 
(especially C mtns), and showers plains. 

Overall confidence in the above scenario is high given all of the 
long range guidance products are in fairly good agreement. \/Hodanish
