Segwit effect on Mining difficulty?

[XXXJAYXXX]

Allow me to pop my own cherry with this post...  I have been reading for a while about segwit on LTC.. there doesn't seem to be much discussion or mention on what effect this will have on the mining difficulty?  I am inclined to think that with the improvements and smaller Tx size.. it could mean a significant drop in difficulty for the miners.. for a short time at least..  I'm fairly new to the crypto world.. and just trying to wrap my head around how this change is going to effect the network itself.  Anyone else have any insights to this?

LTC FTW!
