[ Friday, Dec. 13, 2002 ]
High pressure will be leaving today as a system moves northeast into the region. Slightly warmer air ahead of the front will keep temperatures high enough for rain until Saturday when temperatures fall giving us a mixture of precipitation, eventually becoming all snow. Clearing will occur Sunday as the system moves off the coast, bringing chillier air back into the area. The upcoming week will be peppered with sun and clouds until mid-week when another system will arrive.
