    Lots of needed sunshine yesterday and today...Southwest air flow finally brings above freezing temperatures. But winds and cloud cover will be on the increase this evening as a weak disturbance brushes mostly our northern zones Friday night into Saturday. A few flurries are possible, especially in the northern mountains tonight/early Saturday. Limited moisture aloft will keep accumulation on the lighter side. Temperatures fall into the low to mid 20s tonight.
    Snow flurries will gradually come to an end Saturday but low level clouds will stick around into Sunday. Despite the chilly start Saturday morning, a well deserved warming trend will begin and last well into next week. Temperatures will top out in the mid 30s Saturday, 40s Sunday. Another weak fast-moving disturbance will breeze by and deliver a few mountain flurries early Monday. Otherwise, the rest of next week will be dry and much warmer with highs reaching 40s and even 50s before the end of next week.
