Updates will appear as they come in.

- A cold, showery low is moving in today with mostly cloudy skies, a high near 47, and southwest winds of 10 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Rain showers give way to a chance of rain and snow this afternoon, and tonight's low drops to around 31 with gusts near 35 mph still possible. Snow levels hover near 7,000 to 8,000 feet, so the valley picks up mostly rain while the higher elevations see a couple inches of snow, with a few flurries possible around town. Showers taper off early Tuesday as the trough moves east, leaving a sunny, cool day near 52. Drier weather then holds through the rest of the week, with highs warming into the low 60s and gusty northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph returning Thursday and Friday.
