The Ice that Never Was....

Ice Storm 2008 is a no show! Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Charles Daniel.

Temperatures remain just warm enough to prevent the major ice problems that
could have been. Let me take just a second and say, "Wheeeeew!"

For Today... The rain will continue to clear out. The clouds will quickly follow
through the day. As of this writing (5:30am), temperatures are still very close to the
freezing mark. Combining that with a light drizzle, we could see a light coating of
ice on elevated surfaces, but shouldn't be a major problem. Still use caution on
bridges and overpasses through mid morning. Obey the speed limit, and start and
stop slowly.

A "Freezing Drizzle Advisory" will be allowed to continue until it expires at 8:00am.
But no problems are expected and no major problems have been reported.
The rain should be totally gone by Noon today and the Clouds will linger for a few
hours then clear up. Temperatures should slowly rise into the Low to Mid 40's.
There is a potential for some patchy fog development as the clouds clear up.
Shouldn't be a big issue but be aware.

High Pressure moves back in on Sunday and Sunshine should be much more
dominant. Temperatures will continue to rise slowly through the weekend.
