My apologies for the delay this afternoon. Definitely a busy day in the weather office! We will start with a few hours of snow during the late-morning hours of Saturday. Perhaps 1-3 inches, especially north of US20. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing all day long. However warm air will begin to move in at 5,000 feet bringing a change to our precipitation type.
By midday and especially through the afternoon freezing rain will be the main concern. Our Microcast computer model is hinting at 1/2 to 3/4 inch accumulations. On top of that, winds in excess of 30mph would cause trees and powerlines to snap. The power grid could be compromised if this worst-case scenario does indeed take place.
By the time we get into late Saturday night, the temperature profile will be above freezing from the ground up bringing us plain-old rain. In fact, there could be a few lightning strikes as well. Please use this time to prepare, just in case!

I know we have been calling for a variety of things. But is there any chance that this storm could shift and cause a more snow event?
I don't believe so. Let's hope for the temperatures to rise above freezing...that would save us a lot of problems. -ERIC
I have a lot of plans tomorrow. Im going to arena cross... 3rd row seats cost $25 a pop. I don't think Im gonna miss out on it.
And Henry from accuweather still says temps will be a lot cooler. Ive always thought of AccuWeather as the cheap version of the weather channel (As far as forecasting)... So I don't exactly buy it. Especially since you seem 99% sure about whats going to happen
Justin, 3rd seats! OMG how you get those dude? Any ways this Henry comes up a lot now. I have to check his blog out for the heck of it! I really either want all rain or all snow. No Ice, how can you skate on ice and how can you not snowboard without snow? And Tyler dude, again I am sorry for what I said last night dude. I am so going to get it.
My friends aunt knows one of the sponsors.
