Our 50-degree days are coming to an end and a blast of winter weather is taking their place.  In fact, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the entire Tri-State including Dubois, Pike and Perry Counties as well as Hancock & Ohio counties for Thursday afternoon and lasting until 9 a.m. Friday.

Meteorologist Chad Sewich says we can expect temperatures to dip below freezing with 1-2" of blowing snow likely to fall.

Heavy rain and yesterday's snow have area rivers on the rise. 

The stage of the White River at Petersburg stands at 17.5 feet as of early Wednesday.  It is expected to crest at 19.7 feet on Monday.

At Hazleton, the river measured 16.3 feet with a 21 foot crest expected.
