Forecast for Saturday in SE Texas: MIX

[southerngale]

Unfortunately, it's just to my north in the lakes area....but that could change by Saturday, couldn't it? :-?

They're showing 80% chance of rain on Friday with highs only in the upper 30's and 80% rain/mix for Saturday.

Any thoughts by our forecasters here?

NWS Lake Charles is calling for a mix in Central LA on Saturday...it's only Wednesday and we all know forecasted temps might be alot lower by Friday so lets keep our fingers crossed. This looks to be the last chance we'll see this winter! HONK!
