Ski Report: Rain Should Give Way to Snow by Sunday

Rising freezing levels and warm temperatures will bring rain to most area resorts on Friday and Saturday, but conditions should improve overnight into Sunday.

As the used-car commercials like to say: Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

If you're craving some powder turns, Sunday is going to be your best bet this weekend. Thanks to rising freezing levels and warm temperatures, most local resorts are going to see rain showers Friday and Saturday.

But things should improve by Sunday, with snow in the forecast overnight Saturday at most ski areas. Freezing levels will also be dropping and temperatures cooling down.
