Soggy Saturday

It's that first sound that you hear when you wake up - tires on wet pavement - that tells you it's raining. And the temperature's 44.6 degrees at 6 o'clock.

Darn!

The WKTV NewsChannel 2's Weather team gives us some hope, however:

"Saturday night-Sunday morning: Quiet in the evening, but clouds thicken up after midnight as an area of low pressure travels on that cold front stalled to our south. Warmer air will try and eek in here a few thousand feet up, but not at the ground. As a result, an icy mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is likely on Sunday morning. This will likely create some travel problems around the area. Stay tuned to the forecast if you have plans on Sunday morning.

This should all quiet down Sunday afternoon. Then, on Sunday night, a stronger storm will travel along the cold front to our south. This time though, the air over us will be cold enough for snow and sleet. And some of the snow could be locally heavy. At this point, we don't anticipate an extreme storm, but there will be accumulating plowable snow on Sunday night and Monday across most of the viewing area."
