SNOW LEVELS MAY ALSO LOWER TONIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND NEAR LOS ALAMOS TO SANTA FE. SHOWERS AND SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY ACROSS THE EAST AND NORTHEAST HAVE LEFT BEHIND A DEEP STABLE SURFACE LAYER AND THINK THAT CONTINUED SHOWERY PRECIP WILL BE THE NORM ACROSS THE EAST AND NORTHEAST INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.
