Snow pounds mountains, warming trend for plains

So far it has been a typical La Nina winter: dry, windy and warmer than average on the plains, dryer than average for the southern mountains, and decent snow for the northern mountains. It does not look like this trend will get bucked anytime soon as warm weather is expected to return to the metro area to finish the week and our first real snow will be put on hold. Meanwhile winter storm warnings continue for the northern mountains where many locations have been socked in for days.

Pick day of the week looks to be Thursday when highs could reach the mid 60s. Slightly cooler for the weekend, but still not bad for mid November.
