A few weak weather disturbances will pass to our north.  This will bring an occasional flurries to the northern mountains over the next few days.  Temps will remain in the 50's for highs in most Valley sections of the state. 

We are watching another storm for the weekend.  I have significant doubts about this one though.  A couple things are very clear already.  This storm will not be as cold as the Thanksgiving storm.  So all valley areas will likely see rain.  The snow will be limited to locations above 7,500 feet.  I also don't like what I see from the models as far as the strength of the system goes.  A couple days ago it showed this storm being very strong.  Lately however, its weakened the system a bit.  This tends to lead to a further weakening as the week goes on.  My bust potential on this storm is 60% right now.  If we can get some consistency in the models and keep it relatively strong then we can bring the bust potential down.
