.LONG TERM...
TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE MAIN CHALLENGES THIS PERIOD INCLUDE THE

OPERATIONAL RUNS OF THE CANADIAN GEM AND ECMWF. THE GFS APPEARS TOO
PROGRESSIVE AND APPEARS TO BRING COLD AIR IN TOO FAST THIS COMING
WEEKEND. THERE IS A STRONG SIGNAL THAT THE LATTER PART OF THIS
PERIOD WILL BE UNSETTLED AND WET. THIS SOLUTION IS SUPPORTED BY THE
ANALOGS...CANADIAN GEM AND THE ECMWF...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME
TIMING DIFFERENCES. THERE IS CONCERN FOR HEAVY RAIN CAUSING FLOODING
AS THIS EVENT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR A LONG DURATION...ESPECIALLY PER
ECMWF SOLUTION. FOR THIS PACKAGE...HAVE RAISED RAIN CHANCES FRIDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. FOR NOW...LEFT SUNDAY DRY...BUT THERE IS POTENTIAL
THIS EVENT COULD LINGER THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. THE POTENTIAL FOR A
WINTRY MIX IS DEPENDENT UPON THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE SURFACE
LOW. FOR NOW HAVE RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT AND ENDING
SUNDAY. OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE NEAR NORMAL TUESDAY
