...Wintry Mix Tonight Turning To Rain Thru Saturday; Very Cold Sunday...



Clouds will increase today ahead of our next system. Expect rain showers, 
possibly mixed with a little bit of snow or sleet, to begin tonight. Any wintry 
precipitation will quickly transition to rain and continue through much of the 
day tomorrow. A cold front will push through the region tomorrow night and bring 
very cold air to the region by Sunday.


Precipitation this evening may begin briefly as a wintry mix, mainly north of 
Interstate 64. No snow or ice accumulation is expected due to warm ground temperatures, 
and a quick change to all rain.
