The freezing level will be soaring as the air mass warms up, so precipitation will fall as rain and not snow on all the local ski hills.

The rain won't come down in a continuous stream, but rather in pulses.  News1130 Meteorologist Russ Lacate expects it to stop and restart a couple of times throughout the day.  But with heavy downpours coming ashore periodically, rainfall amounts are expected to exceed warning criteria for the next day or two.
