It's already snowed in the mountains, but it looks like we might have our first snowstorm of the season downtown:

Not much (maybe none at all) is predicted, but it has been a dry year and we'll take what we can get.

Today Isolated showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 62. Breezy, with a southwest wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Tonight A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1am, then a slight chance of showers after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. Breezy, with a southwest wind 15 to 20 mph decreasing to 5 to 10 mph in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Wednesday A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after noon. Cloudy, with a high near 53. Southwest wind 5 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Wednesday Night A chance of rain and snow showers. Cloudy, with a low around 21. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Hopefully, the storm isn't just cool air with no precip, though it could be.
