.DISCUSSION...

A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SNOW ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE DAY.  NORTH WINDS WILL BRING SOME DRIER AIR AND PARTIAL CLEARING 
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON...HOWEVER ENOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT FOR SNOW 
SHOWERS TO REDEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.  MARGINAL MIXING AND LIGHT WINDS 
WILL KEEP DISPERSIONS POOR.  

DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR TONIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING OFF 
INTO THE TEENS.  LIGHT DRAINAGE WINDS SHOULD BEGIN SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.  
ALTHOUGH THURSDAY WILL BE DRIER AND WARMER WITH HIGHER MIXING HEIGHTS...WINDS ALOFT
WILL DECREASE RESULTING IN LITTLE IMPROVEMENT FOR AFTERNOON DISPERSIONS OVER
THOSE OF TODAY.
