NWS weekend weather infographic

As you can see from the infographic above, the northern Indiana office of the National Weather Service is forecasting minor ice accumulation Saturday morning, before freezing rain turns to rain and all the ice melts.

The rain should change to snow Saturday night, which could continue through Sunday.
