.Forecast Summary...A fast moving Pacific system will effect the NNSS tomorrow with an increase in clouds and wind. It will be east of the area by Thursday leaving cooler temperatures in its wake. Another system will move into the West Coast for Friday bringing more clouds and wind to the area. Looking ahead to next week, there are indications of a pattern shift that would allow systems to come in from the north. This could lead to much colder temperatures and low snow levels for the NNSS. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
