NEW: Madison County weather update + what to expect this weekend

This week’s weather has been crazy cold and caused record breaking demand for power.

Here’s what the National Weather Service predicts for this weekend.

What will the weather look like through this weekend?

A mix of rain and freezing rain are expected Thursday afternoon into the evening. Lows under freezing will cause new ice to accumulate on the roadways.

Friday will have a high temperature of 33 degrees with wind chills between 14 and 21 degrees. Saturday will look similar with a high near 22.

The best chance of ice melting comes on a sunny Sunday when temperatures are expected to reach a high of 38 degrees.
