Rain and a Little Snow for the Weekend

The forecast has not changed much for the weekend. Saturday will see rain into the night with a change over to snow. Neither will be significant in accumulation but the Saturday rain plus warm temperatures in the 50's over most of Indiana will accelerate the current snow packs melting. Some flooding could occur.

The late Saturday night change over to snow will not bring much accumulation since the cold front will be moving in rather quickly to the east and push the precipitation ahead of it. Trace amounts to 1-2" would be the best scenario for snow. Roadways should be warm with rain so snow not expected to be sticking. Slick spots on bridges and overpasses are likely.

Sunday will see much colder temperatures with the passing front to our east and gusty winds 20-30 MPH.

The next significant storm will likely be right after Christmas where several inches of snow could fall across the area.
