...Moderate to heavy rain Friday into Saturday...



.Temperatures are forecast to warm well into the 50s Friday. A

period of moderate to locally heavy rain will also move through

the area Friday into Saturday. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches

with potentially locally higher amounts, are expected during this

time. The combination of melting snow and periods of rain should 

allow rivers and streams to rise, breaking up the ice, and 

potentially allowing ice jams to form. Rivers and streams could 

see sudden rises in vicinity of these ice jams.
