Freezing drizzle this morning on the ground in Iowa City.
I looked at the Skew-T just as a learning experience. It predicts 100% humidity below 2400 meters (about 7500 feet).
Zero degrees C is at about 950 meters (about 3000 feet) with above-freezing temperatures at higher altitudes - so that's where the rain is coming from.
Area forecast:
SERN...OVC010-020 TOPS 080. OCNL VIS 3-5SM BR/-DZ. 15Z OCNL VIS 3-5SM -FZDZ. 19Z OVC010-020. OTLK...IFR CIG.
