Yes, but im sure it will be back soon. Expect to see soggy conditions overnight and rain was pelting the capital city at lunch time and the thermometer topped 60 but people were clutching umbrellas to stay dry. Indian summer in winter.

Snow. So what to expect if you are outside on the road tonight. And, stay off this evening, i would recommend it. We have rain and pockets of dense fog. You get that a lot with warm air moving over the colder snow pack a lot have of fog has formed this afternoon and evening.

Things should get better for your thursday morning commute. Not quite as bad what to expect this evening . Rain still heavy at times. Total amounts around a an inch, some higher amounts possible to the north and west and localized flooding is occurring. Snow melt, does continue to add to the threat, so when you couple all that, that saturated ground, with over an inch or two of water, with an inch of rain, of course, we will have more, in the way of flooding out there and areas of dense fog do continue to impact the the the area tonight coming up w
Commute. David murphy has more on the fog and karen rogers has traffic. Reporter we have fog and shower activity ill let it lambs for you, it is gliding through. The fog may be producing drizzle on your windshield. Doesnt look like it will be hang in there that long, but it will be an issue for the morning commute.
