Warmer before the storm

Enjoy Veterans Day as we'll warm up above average, to near 60, before everything comes crashing down tonight with a cold front. Chances of snow late tonight and into tomorrow morning 60% with gusty winds and temps around freezing for Tuesday with blowing snow possible. Accumulations are mainly for ridges and hills with mountains receiving several inches. We may have some slight accumulations in the valley, it will mix with rain as the morning goes on. Arrival starts as rain overnight with winds from the southwest and gusts to 25+mph. You'll have a slick road or two in the morning and will need to exercise caution as oily surfaces influence traction. This cold snap takes us into the 40's very quickly and another weak front Wednesday with another cool down, but it look like a stronger system will influence our weather pattern by this weekend and some single digit lows may be possible with chances of more snow by Sunday/Monday.
