.DISCUSSION...
IT WILL BE CHILLY TODAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
FROM THE NORTHEAST. A STORM SYSTEM WILL KICK OUT OF COLORADO AND
MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST ON TUESDAY. THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD
BE TOO FAR EAST TO GIVE THE SITE A GOOD CHANCE OF SNOWFALL. WILL
MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW...BUT THE AREA IS ON THE FAR
NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE STORM WITH THE MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF SNOW
BEING TO THE SOUTHEAST. HIGHS TUESDAY WILL REMAIN CHILLY AND WINDS
LIGHT FROM THE NORTHEAST. TWH
