Frozen Precip Tonight??

There's been some discussion on a possible frozen precipitation event (I honestly wouldn't even call it that at this point) but none the less, here's what I believe will happen later today/tonight with regards to this "possibility" (Freezing Drizzle/Sleet). I honestly don't think any of us will see anything. So many factors working against the idea of this kind of event, for one..split jet, those clouds are pulling apart quickly and I'm sure the moisture is stretching and evaporating quickly. For two, evaporative cooling would last a split second, before matching up with temps and rising for the rest of the day as moisture approaches (if it does) and for three...850 mb temps are WAY too warm, I don't see snow as one bit of a possibility at all unless your right there near the Gorge, even so, it would not last long before switching over. All in all, tomorrow I'd expect clouds and a possibility of a sprinkle or two..this has been the case most of fall, it may be cold enough but either we get a warm southerly push to moderate things right before precip or the precip never even makes it into the area. None the less, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, take care!
