“There are a lot of bees,” is not something you want to hear on the radio when you’re headed to an accident scene.

The forecast calls for a return of rain mainly after lunch with a high temperature of 56 degrees and the southwest wind at 20 mph gusting to 35 mph. The snow level could drop to 5,300 feet after midnight.
