Very messy forecast for your Monday

Right now there is some confusion going into the forecast for Monday.  Right now it looks like we will see a gradual change over to snow as we go into the early morning hour of Monday.  The lows tonight should drop into the mid to lower thirties.  Expect a really nasty forecast for the rest of your Monday with snow mixed with rain as we go into the afternoon with highs in the upper thirties to lower forties.  There will also be a increase in winds SW ten-fifteen mph.  The information coming in right now I would expect very light accumulations with maybe one inch.  Most of the accumulation if any will be limited to grassy surfaces.  The mountains areas could see one to three inches.  This system will bring much cooler air as we go into Monday and Tuesday nights with lows in the twenties.  Remember to keep it here at ETWeather for the latest on this developing weather situation.  Make sure if you want the latest you can become a follower and anytime there is an update you will get an e-mail.
