Big Changes Today

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

I hope you enjoy the new, updated graphics and fell to KRBC. No big changes here in the weather department. About the only change will be a brand new 7-Day Forecast. Now here on KRBC you will always be able to see the next weekend in your forecast.

Speaking of that forecast, what a difference a day makes. A strong cold front blew in this morning and with it came a few light showers and even some spotty sleet! The air in the upper levels of the atmosphere is cold enough to support the frozen precipitation and the downdrafts within the showers were strong enough that the precipiation stayed frozen all the way to the surface. Now, with surface temperatures in the 40s, the sleet did not last long before it melted.

Tonight will be very chilly across the area with lows in the middle to lower 20s. Winds will still remain a bit breezy averaging 5 to 15 miles per hour.

A secondary push of colder air will arrive Saturday afternoon. With that push afternoon highs will only climb into the middle 40s.

Unfortunately the remainded of the extended forecast looks dry. We will see another cold front with the potential of a few showers if we can get enough moisture into the area by next Thursday.
