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



.Temperatures are forecast to warm well into the 50s to around 60

on Friday. A period of moderate to locally heavy rain will also 

move through the area Friday into Saturday. Rainfall amounts of 1

and one-half to 2 and one-half inches with locally higher amounts

up to around 4 inches, 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.
