BOTH GFS AND ETA ARE POOR ON TIMING SYSTEM THIS MORNING. HAVE LEFT 
PATCHY FOG AND SCHC SW-- NOT MUCH LIFT ANYWHERE AND CURRENT

ANTICIPATED FRONTAL POSITION AND WHERE IT STALLS OUT. HAVE DROPPED 
TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES. PATCHY FOG SHOULD REDEVELOP 
TONIGHT WITH A FEW FLAKES POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. COLD 
AIR POOL RELATIVELY SHALLOW. WINDS SWING TO THE SOUTH TONIGHT AND 
CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY AND GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE WEST LATE SUNDAY 
NIGHT. SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES UP ESPECIALLY IN AREAS OF CLOUD 
COVER PATCHY FOG AND POSSIBLY FLURRIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY 
MORNING WITH A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING 
AS SHORT WAVE MOVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA...WITH A CHANCE 
CONTINUING NORTH CENTRAL MONDAY MORNING. HAVE INCREASED TEMPERATURES 
MONDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED AS RIDGE BUILDS INTO
