However, areas north of I-69 may see up to an inch of slushy snow. Temperatures will range from 39°F to 49°F before dropping into the 20s overnight, leading to icy conditions.
By Friday, winds will remain breezy, and morning wind chills will dip into the low 20s. Overnight, additional rain showers will transition into snow, with temperatures ranging between 49°F and 52°F.
