.DISCUSSION...SNOWFALL BEHIND AN DEPARTING COLD FRONT LOOKS
TO PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST MID MORNING BEFORE
DISSIPATING...WITH PERHAPS AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO OF
ACCUMULATION. OTHERWISE NORTH-NORTHEAST WINDS BEHIND THIS

TONIGHT...AND REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND...UNDER A LIGHT WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. POOR MIXING

INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
