Friday is a shock to the system as winter comes barreling back into Michiana. Temperatures will struggle to break 15 degrees and areas of standing water from flooding may freeze. Rivers remain high through Saturday before waters start to recede. The most significant flooding along the Kankakee and Tippecanoe rivers. The next chance of snow is Sunday afternoon.
