.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WILL
BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA AROUND NOON TODAY. THIS FRONT
WILL DROP TEMPERATURES DRASTICALLY AND SHIFT THE WINDS FROM A
WESTERLY FLOW TO A NORTHERLY FLOW. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE
AT AND BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL START AROUND NOON. ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE 3 TO 5 INCHES.

EVEN WITH SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL FLOW THE COLD ARCTIC AIRMASS THAT
WILL MOVE AND SETTLEOVER THE AREA WILL MAKE SMOKE DISPERSAL'S POOR
THROUGH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.
