Its not going to be that mountains which have why theres concern as this rain begins out there you have a mix of sleet and maybe freezing rain and possibly even a little bit of snow. 51 degrees in the district. So very comfortable as we go through the evening hours tonight and the clouds will continue to thickening up and we drop to 48 by 7 00 and 46 by 9 00 and 44 by 11 00 and in and around here closer suburbs near 0 and upper 0s awlingt to do it at some time.
