.DISCUSSION...
Rounds of snow are expected. Currently, temperatures are in the
teens, and will slowly warm overnight. Breezy weather is expected
with gusts 20 to 30 mph in the foothills and up to 40 mph near
summits, especially between 7 PM and 11 PM tonight. Based on
nearby ceiling observations, summits are currently in and out of
cloud and will transition to becoming obscured in clouds.
Visibility will likely decrease as a result, especially in snow
and gusty winds.

On Thursday evening, the chances for snow will begin to decrease.
Ceilings and visibility may improve over Allen Mountain as the
wind direction switches northwesterly. However, strong downslope
wind gusts are likely in the area increasing up to 35 to 45 mph,
locally up to 50 mph at summit levels. With cold air returning,
wind chills are likely to fall below zero by Thursday night.
Though precipitation chances decreasing, blowing snow will be
possible continuing into Friday. Storm total snow is likely to be
about 3 to 8 inches below 2000 feet and 8 to 12 over summits.
