Rain/mixed precip tonight, rain tomorrow

Hello everyone!

Tonight we have some light precip moving through mainly in the form of freezing rain/sleet and that will likely persist throughout the overnight hours. The “main event” will move in before dawn tomorrow in the form of all rain at the coast, a mix in the foothills and mainly sleet/snow in the mountains. Almost everyone will see rain for a period Monday morning before a powerful cold front passes through creating a dangerous flash-freeze setup where rain/melted snow will suddenly freeze on roads/sidewalks making for icy conditions. Almost everyone will have a shot at some snow squalls after the front passes through which could briefly reduce visibility and cause slick roads. Despite this, I expect no major travel impacts from this storm as it will be mostly rain/freezing rain and temps will be mild enough for salt to work on the roads.

Winds will become gusty out of the S/SE out ahead of the front and will then become gusty out of the NW behind the front as temps fall precipitously into the 10’s and 20’s.
