Holiday events go on despite brewing weather systems

Batesville, In. — Weather has become the weekend spoiler.

The Batesville Holiday Parade has been postponed, but the RomWeber Marketplace will host Santa and the community from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Enjoy caroling with the Fritsch family at 11:30 a.m., a performance by Southeastern Indiana Dance and music by the Eureka Band at 2 p.m. Santa and his reindeer will be there as well as crafts and lots of fun, plus a $500 chamber check giveaway.

The Brookville November Noel has been moved indoors to the Knights of Columbus on Main Street in Brookville.

National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Hatzous says high pressure will move east of the tri-state today. A low pressure system will organize over the southern Plains tonight, strengthening as it tracks northeast through the Great Lakes Saturday into Saturday night. The low and its associated cold will bring showers and a few thunderstorms. Periods of gusty winds are expected. The tri-state region is in a marginal risk of severe weather Saturday. A colder, low pressure system is expected to spread across the area Sunday.
