Freezing weather moves in throughout the weekend and into next week
Quieter, yet freezing, weather will move in on Saturday.
Temperatures on Saturday will to struggle to reach above freezing, said the weather service. A few areas, like west of Interstate 65 will record mid-30s, but cloud cover is expected to keep the sun from having any great impact of improving road conditions, added the weather service.
By Saturday afternoon, interstates might be passable, but secondary and less-traveled roads will be an issue until at least Sunday afternoon.
“Even then, melting that occurs is only going to refreeze Sunday night, likely creating slick conditions on those backroads right into Monday morning,” reported the weather service.
Beyond Monday, temperatures will be at or below normal with overnight temperatures expected to fall below freezing each night. The weather service expects a period free of precipitation until at least next weekend.
