Discussion              

As low pressure pulls away to the northeast of here today, some rain will continue to fall at times and it can mix with or change to snow later in the morning with small grassy accumulations possible.. Winds will intensify this afternoon from a northwesterly direction and can gust to 30 mph or later in the day. High pressure returns to the area for a brief time on Tuesday and then the next storm in this active weather pattern arrives on Wednesday. It should be cold enough for some accumulating snow at the onset on Wednesday - perhaps a couple of inches - but an eventual changeover to plain rain is expected. High pressure will return on Thursday following the passage of the mid-week storm system along with the return of strong NW winds.
