November Chill Down is here

INCREASING CLOUDS AND COLD START TODAY WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 20'S.  HIGHS TODAY WIL ONLY BE IN THE LOWER 40'S - 41-43 DEGREES.  WINDS ARE LIGHT, BUT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BREEZE MAKES WIND CHILLS PLUNGE INTO THE UPPER TEENS FOR MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES. S 5-10.  

WITH CLOUDS INCREASING TODAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER SYSTEM, WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOME WINTER WEATHER FOR EARLY TOMORROW. CENTRAL MOUNTAINS MAY RECEIVE 3-6" OF SNOW THROUGH THE MORNING AND SOME SLUSH/SNOW FOR UPPER HIGHLANDS. COLD RAIN FOR THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN. WINDS PICK UP AND I THINK THE HOCKEY TEAM NAME SHOULD BE SNAKE RIVER SASQUATCH.
