Showers pushing across the area this morning, this will continue through Monday with Monday morning looking to be the focal point of the main period of rain. As we work through Monday the boundary begins to push through allowing colder air to filter in. If enough moisture remains overnight Monday in to Tuesday a.m, that could lead to some high ground flakes. Tuesday looks like a chilly day, but not much activity as skies may begin to break.
Rainfall through Monday off the Euro and Gfs
Tuesday night in to Wednesday, another wave of precip pushing through and this in the form of snow showers for most everyone. Accumulations looking light. 1-3″ range and leaning towards the low to mid range of that for most above 2500′ and possibly the upper end in a few favored upslope locations.
Wednesday is a cold day. Temps upper teens and low 29s above 4000′ to start with windchills 0-10. Temps remaining in the 20s all day. Winds will subside through the day. 2500-4000 temps beginning in the 20s and maxing out low to mid 30s.
Windchills teens early and moderating feel as the winds subside through the day. Skies look to begin clearing in the PM hours. As winds subside and skies clear, temps could possibly dip below 10° in those absolute coldest locations, with teens to around 20° for most.

Temps moderate thereafter with potentially another colder push as we go in to next week
