...Moderate to Heavy Rain Today Into Saturday...



.Temperatures have warmed into the 50s and 60s. Additional rain is

expected tonight with amounts of 1 to 2 inches possible. Local

higher amounts are also a possibility in any prolonged heavier

rain bands. The combination of melting snow and periods of rain 

have allowed 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.
