Live From KRBC... It's FRIDAY NIGHT!

Chief Meteorlogist Craig Carnesi here...

What a day across the Big Country! Some folks may complain that it is a little cool, but I'll take it!

Highs today are only in the lower 60s. The sun finally returned leaving us with a fantastic Friday afternoon.

Unfortunately, this beautiful weather won't last too long. But, the weekend does look great.

Expect plenty of sunshine this weekend with highs Saturday in the mid 70s, Sunday, highs will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. We will begin to see signs of change though by late Sunday, with a few more clouds rolling in and rain chances by Sunday night. An upper level trough will dig into the Southwest this weekend and begin to push our direction by Sunday night.

Columbus day and Tuesday look to bet a little on the wet side. There is the potential for heavy rainfall beginning Monday. It's still a little to soon to predict exactly how much rain, but with a trough set-up like this, we could be looking at another 2 to 3 inches of rain Monday-Tuesday.

By Wednesday the trough will lift out and leave us with drier weather behind it.

For tonight though, get out and enjoy the near-perfect football weather across the Big Country. Don't forget a sweater or jacket though, as game-time temperatures will be in the mid 50s to upper 40s by the end of the games.

Please, go out and make it a GREAT weekend!
