There is reducing visibility in fact and i think well see more of it as the morning progresses because we have that more mild air moving in. Lets look right now at Storm Tracker 6 live double scan around the region and we can see the showers through the area are pretty light. This isnt a big deal at the moment. And it is just rain with temperatures above freezing. Lets go on outside and show you what it looks like and you can see the fog but you cant see is the top of the buildings there as we have lots of low clouds around right now reducing visibility in some spots so be careful as youre headed out at this early hour. I think that fog will be an issue through much of the morning. Lets look at the Current Conditions for you. 41 degrees, though, temperatures even above yesterdays afternoon high. We kind of rose overnight and thats why were not as concerned about slick roads. For the most part the roadways and sidewalks are just wet so be careful as youre headed out. Its not a big situation. The dewpoint 39 degrees, still a lot of moisture in the atmosphere. Took a long time to moisten that you atmosphere yesterday but it did happen. Winds out of the southwest today and temperatures will go up a little bit from there. Its not going to be terribly mild but milder than yesterday. It stays dreary but thats been the case in the seven day period and certainly today. We see lots of clouds. We have showers filling in and its not constant. Were seeing a lot of break in the action. Well be seeing showers move through the day at times theyre going to be kind of spotty. Maybe a heavier shower at 7 30 in the morning here or there and 11 30 in the morning not a lot happening but lots of clouds, a sprinkle or two and it will be rain with temperatures above freezing. At 1 oclock maybe a steadier shower moves through with that front and a spotty shower on the evening drive but the drive time for your evening will be looking better. Youll be seeing some breaks in the clouds at 5 oclock and that last sprinkle on out of here before we finally clear things out for you. So, for today, 53 degrees for your high, better than yesterday and a little bit above average with this front thats trying to move through. Its mostly cloudy with a spotty shower here or there through the day. High pressure finally well builds in tomorrow, its partly sunny alittle bit of a december chill with temperatures below average and 46 but with partly sunny skies well take it. We havent seen a lot of that sunshine this week and thats going to be the case for the next seven days as well. Heres your exclusive accuweather seven day. Lots of clouds around. Some spotty showers at times. Its not going to be slippery by any means with a high of 53 but just something to watch for today. And then finally the sunshine returns on thursday. 46 degrees. So, its cool but well take it i think. Friday were going have more clouds back in the picture. We only get that one day break and in fact a chance for rain but looks like after midnight would be the best chance on friday so friday looking dry, 48. Saturday periods of rain and 52.
