...PATCHY FROST POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS LATE TONIGHT...

COOL HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST WILL DRIFT EAST THIS EVENING
BEFORE SETTLING ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF
CLEARING SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
FALL TO THEIR LOWEST VALUES OF THE SEASON. LOCATIONS ACROSS THE
DEEPER VALLEYS CAN EXPECT READINGS TO DIP BRIEFLY INTO THE MID
AND UPPER 30S LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN PATCHY FROST
TOWARD DAYBREAK THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS NOT IMMEDIATELY
ADJACENT TO RIVERS AND STREAMS WHERE FOG MAY KEEP TEMPERATURES A
BIT WARMER. CONSIDER PROTECTING SENSITIVE VEGETATION AND BRINGING
TENDER PLANTS INSIDE THIS EVENING.

LISTEN TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES.





A high of 59 here today, and unoficially, snowshoe picked up some snow. Should bottom out at 36 tonight.


And snowmaking has begun in the states.
